looking up

I'm not going to deny
that it's hard to face the west
when the sunset sky
brings an aching to my chest
for a different story
that starts a few pages back

You're showing me
How love can hurt and heal
Your knowing me
Lets me know that this is real
and destiny's
designs are right on track

you've got me looking up
you've got me climbing out of this hole
you've got me, sure enough
and I'm ready to lose control
give you the keys
let you do what your love can do
help me finally see
the value of what I've been through

it seems absurd
when I look at the years
the things I've heard
and how I provoked such tears
that cannot dry
without the blood stains of grace

but here it is
I'm on a winding recovery road
I'd be remiss
If I didn't let my heart know
the healing of your look
or mercy's sweetest taste

you've got me looking up
you've got me climbing out of this hole
you've got me, sure enough
and I'm ready to lose control
give you the keys
let you do what your love can do
help me finally see
the value of what I've been through
