Once upon a time I had a dream
And it meant evertything to me
All of my hopes, all my beliefs
Were poured into this one feat

So when the journey led to failure
The sky above me fell too
The ground beneath me shook
And I no longer knew what to do

My faith lay lifeless
My heart numb to the cold
My mind left hopeless
Questioning all I’d been told

But the truths knocking me down
Would be what turned me around
Teaching me to stand strong
Giving insights not before found

This world oft feels a cruel teacher
But after the storm is healing balm
Accepting life’s correction and direction
Turns missteps into a new song
