I was your age yesterday

Living in another time another
place

Where the trivial felt so painfully
real

Where I couldn’t feel the weight on
my soul just yet

Where the words couldn’t quite sum
up how I felt

Where the future felt so far off

I was there in your shoes

Breathless and in pain

I’ve worn every single pair

Forty sets spun around
my soul like a noose

Covering the same old ground

Covering the same old pain

The skies can open and grace can
come in

But the shadows still remain

In a tranquil setting

The heart begins to shine

Surrounded by those who get it

Surprised by kindred souls

The door to Narnia has closed for
now

But the key remains in my hand
And the music lingers in my heart
