Gentle soul gathers strength
Far beyond the power you envision
Dipping down gather up
All the pieces of a frail buttercup
Gently place there, in a safe place
To gain itself, to grow, mature
Into a gentle soul
Gathering strength for you.

Just to say
This is another day
A better day?
Whose to say
Guess you’ve got to make it
Not just another day
Maybe the best day
Of any other day.

This is mostly
What I say
Digging deep
Down away.
Hold your own
Don’t be swayed
From what you know
To be the way
You need today.

In my life I’ve had some strife
And crisis, one or two.
Makes no difference
What you feel
It’ll happen to you too.
Bless my heart
I did not come apart
I strove to make
A good life from it too.
So now I see
What happened to me
I believe, was meant to be
To make me
A better person too.

Sitting here
Wondering where
Wondering where or if
I should care.
All has come
Nothings done
And I am sitting here
Wondering where.

Dwelling in depths
I don’t want to be
Remembering things
I don’t want to see.
Free me
Free me
Take me out of here
Let me walk in the sun
Have some fun and not despair.
Not despair or care if my world
May come to an end
Another one is just
Around the bend.
And maybe just maybe
It’s more fun.

Behind it all
Stands the Grande.
The one who knows
Watches all flow
The ebb and tide
Of each man.
There the Grande
There he stands.

Majesty leads the way
Thru all that may
Stand in the way.
Let it be.
Let it be all it can be
For I am here
Just an eternity.

There I am standing
Wondering where I am
And where I am is
Where I’ve been
And where I’m going.
But most of all
It’s where I am.
Where I am now standing
Wondering where I am.
I think.
