Ravine

Have you heard - have you heard -
About this girl who was ripped up
By her roots
Wanna know - what she learned?
Like humility - You win when you lose

I have learned - I have learned
The most horrifying nights have ends
I was hurt I was lost.
In the dark I found the way to a friend

I'm standing here in my ravine.
Once again I see a piece of the sky
And my joy'll never be denied
'Cause I was meant to be here -
The only place on earth
Where you are near - where you are near

Was a flower so frail -
And I let the trees grow wild around me
Grew so high hid the sky -
Shaded everything I needed to see

Then one night someone came
Took a knife an ripped me up by my roots
Tossed astray, far away
In my darkest night I started to pray
I am standing....

Why do you, why do you ask
Why I'm not blaming my god?
I'll tell you, I'll tell you what -
He was the only one there

I am standing...
