What I had handed to me

By R.

What I had handed to me
Was a summer
Breeze of peace

Happiness
That doesn't cease

Feelings
Deeper than the sea

What I had handed to me
Were the answers no one knows

Was love
Tied up in a bow

And a friend
I came to know.

What I also had handed to me

Are the times I was put down

And I was left on the ground

And I wasn't wanted around

But the King of Jews

Saw my fall and where I fell

He also put me into wells
And I came out
With beautiful tales to tell

Also the Son of Man

Turned my troubles into songs
Made what's right out of what's wrong

And made me know where I belong.

What I had handed to me

Was a promised promise land

Something I can't understand

As I run upon its sand

Upon its sand...
