Seeing Angels
Performed by the John Butler Trio
From the album Sunrise over Sea
The past year has been interesting to say the least, with much personal growth and many changes. This also involved a lot of confusion, pain, lessons and some long hard looks at myself. I was blessed to have someone who has infinite patience, wisdom and gentleness to help me on that journey.
There are some things you never forget and there will always be a place of peace and just being in my heart to revisit when things get tough.
Why do I deserve such a visit
From the one I thought I'd never meet.
Beyond my greatest expectations.
You exceeded everything.
Well here I am
Take me for what you see
For I'm transparent in the light of you.
And look inside,
See that fire burning bright
The same one that you rekindled inside me
My mouth was dry only you quenched my thirst
I thought I was last
You told me I was first.
And I thought I was seeing Angels
And now I know I was.
Your wings around me feel good they always does .
So there I was
Ain't the same (wo)man I used to be
But do you still like what you see in me.
Still see through
Will always be with you
but can you stand to see my vulnerabilities
For I am frightened
Shed so much I clung onto
The only things I have left is this guitar and you. (well not quite)
Nowhere to run
Been out here too long under the sun.
Am I too afraid
To get some.
To afraid to give myself some shade
I hope and pray I do some day.
