She Walked Away//Mirror Mirror//Surrender

[bahsaysthelamb]

A few songs that are really helping me lately.

She couldn't take one more day
Home was more a prison now
Independence called out
She had to get it
A fight was all she needed
To give her a reason
She slammed the door with no "goodbye"
And knew that it was time

And now she's drivin' too fast
She didn't care to glance behind
And through her tears she laughed,
"It's time to kiss the past goodbye
I'm finally on my own
Don't try to tell me 'no'
There's so much more for me
Just watch what I will be..."

Chorus:
She walked away
Couldn't say why she was leavin'
She walked away
She left all she had believed in
She walked away

Not a day goes by
for the ones she's left behind
They're always askin' "Why?"
as thoughts of her consume their minds
"God, please let her know
the love we tried to show
We'll promise anything
if you'll just bring her home..."

Chorus:
She walked away
Couldn't say why she was leavin'
She walked away
She left all she had believed in
She walked away

"Tell her
We love her
Tell her
She's wanted
One more
thing, God
Tell her
please come home
please come home..."

Chorus:
She walked away
Couldn't say why she was leavin'
She walked away
She left all she had believed in
She walked away
Couldn't say why she was leavin'
She walked away
She left all she had believed in
She walked away

The choice is yours alone now
Tell me how the story ends...

***********

Mirror, Mirror on the wall; Have I got it?
'Cause Mirror you've always told me who I am
I’m finding It’s not easy to be perfect
So sorry, you won’t define me
Sorry, you don’t own me

Chorus
Who are you to tell me
that I’m less than what I should be?
Who are you? Who are you?
I don’t need to listen
to the list of things I should do
I won’t try; I won’t try
You don’t define me; You don’t define me

Mirror I am seeing a new reflection
I’m looking into the eyes of He who made me
To Him I have beauty beyond compare
I know He defines me

Chorus

************

My hands hold safely to my dreams
Clutching tightly not one has fallen
So many years I've shaped each one
Reflecting my heart showing who I am
Now You're asking me to show
What I'm holding Oh so tightly
Can't open my hands can't let go
Does it matter?
Should I show you?
Can't you let me go?

Surrender, Surrender You whisper gently
You say I will be free
I know but can't You see?
My dreams are me, My dreams are me

You say you have a plan for me
And that You want the best for my life
Told me the world had yet to see
What you can do with one
That's committed to Your calling
I know of course what I should do
That I can't hold these dreams forever
If I give them now to you
Will you take them away forever?
Or can I dream them again?
