I pulled the truck over on a cliff over looking the sea. I knew in my bones I was pregnant but I had no confirmation. I was too young and terrified. hence the verses. but this calm kept settling over me, almost a sweet voice comforting me that everything was OK and I could do this. Hence the choruses. This was the inner dialogue of that day.
Sometimes I wonder what this life has in store for me
I feel so afraid when I gaze into the face of the unknown
I am but dust and bone I am like water in a rain storm
I hardly feel capable to carry out this path I’ve been chosen for
(CHORUS) But spirit whispers “Child have faith
you are so much more than you think.
I touched you before you drew your first breath here
I am near to you.”
But everything is moving so fast I find myself looking into the past
To things I cannot change I do not understand
I just want some peace of mind, I want a guiding hand
Cuz I don’t know what I’m headed for
And I got my hand on an unmarked door
I just wanna know that what I’m doing is right
I wanna pierce the darkness and see the light
(CHORUS) But spirit whispers “Child have faith
You are so much more than you think.
I touched you before you drew your first breath here
I am near to you. Like the fields that kiss the morning dew I am…
I am…I am here with you.”
