Seeing As I Am Seen

Slow and steady wins the race
Slow and steady and maintain the pace
Slow and steady, follow the trace
Slow and steady and trust to Grace

So many great women in my life
From the beginning ‘til now
So many great women I have seen
From the beginning I don’t know how

Tonya Carol shook my world
Changed my heart, opened my eyes
Filled my mind, reminded me of Grace
Of the me before you there is no trace

Dana Marie, to me she was so sweet
The first one after great pain is such a pleasure, such a treat
My first kiss with her and I could not feel my feet
Dana Marie, oh she is so sweet

Deborah Anne picked me up
And crushed me to dust
Deborah Anne picked me up
And smashed me to bits
Deborah Anne broke my heart so many ways
But keep going I must
Deborah Anne broke my heart so many ways
But I continue to trust

My head has been turned around
So many times now
I almost do not trust what I see
I do not understand what I hear
I wonder where I should be
I am escaping my deepest fears
As my heart turns to rust
And I cry oh so many tears

Beauty and grace are here and gone
Fear and doubt dance around my head
Pain and anger come when I least expect
Failure and Success are one and the same
Pleasure occasionally comes
Pain lingers on, oh the pains
And numb comes and goes
But through it all hope remains

I still wonder where you are
I wonder what you sing
I wonder where you are
And what you will bring

I hope I will see you and know your face
I hope you will see me and know my face
I hope we will see eye to eye and
Grow from grace to grace

I am getting better and I am getting worse
The more I see the less I know
I wish you were here, I wish we were one
The more I see the more I grow
How many times can I break
How many times can I fall
I try to run fast but I wind down slow
The more I see, the less I know
