Then, And Back Again

by CWK

You said I never held your hand,

and I was ashamed to say,

I didn't know how.

You said I didn't understand,

and I was afraid to say,

I didn't know how.

Well, that was then,

and this is (another man) now.

You said I never held your hand,

and I was ashamed to say,

I didn't know how.

But I do now.

God only knows what it took

(and he arranged it like a perfect plotted book)

to change my hard heart.

It was good for Him to break us apart,

and then me.

I have had my doubts,

and I died, near death, a time or three.

But I'm alive now.
