Lyrics
Careful what you ask for
You just might get it
Fruit of all the seeds you've sewn
Comes time to live it
And slipping out the back door
Won't put a face to all your sorrow
All your letting go
She was a mirror of me
Bent and broken hearted
Scared in what she started
Such misery
And I saw the pain in her eyes
Desperate for connection
Seeking resurrection
Before we die
Careful what you ask for
You just might get it
Fruit of all the seeds you've sewn
Comes time to live it
And slipping out the back door
Won't put a face to all your sorrow
All your letting go
Alone in your temporal boat
On a never ending sea
Content just to drift and float
Don't you ever need to be known?
And now
I am lost where I'm bound
Tired of chasing circles
Jumping from the whirlpools
To higher ground
And God
What are You doing here?
Had You banished to the corners
With the martyrs and the mourners
All these years
Careful what you ask for
You just might get it
Fruit of all the seeds you've sewn
Comes time to live it
And slipping out the back door
Won't put a face to all your sorrow
All your letting go
