rebellious heart




I've been that girl
beating my wings against the bars of grace
desperately restless
I've been that girl
running, running cold
hiding away inside myself
I've been that girl
but it's one step after the other
and it's a wrestling
gasping mercy
drowning in love
and it burns white hot
because I've always been pursued
I've always been hedged in
and even when it hurts, 
I am held
and here I struggle
and today, I am so content
but even when I find myself wearing through my shoes again
on the road, wandering again
always I am home.
With You.

Do you ever get used to being lonely? When I've seen as much as you, I want to rejoice as well as you do. Will you teach me how to grow old?
