Forgot How To Walk
Help me God, I’m lost
Contemplation alone won’t save me
So again I come to you, Lord
With another desperate inquiry
As I follow the path you’ve paved for me
I see testing marks at every mile
But what I’ve overlooked ‘til now
Is the distance between the crucial trials
What do I do when the road gets smoother
When I’ve acclimated to pain
When my hard work finally shows progress
And I benefit from my gains?
Lord, I need to rest
But I’m too anxious to sleep
All these emotions hurting my soul
But I’m too prideful to weep
I’ve been running for so long
For too long, perhaps
Lord please slow me down
Before I collapse
Please teach me how to walk again
‘Cause dammit I forgot how
My drive has taken over
And I alone can’t slow it down
Yes, my goals are sighted
Yes, my purpose is my grind
But I may soon explode
God, please help me unwind
My wounds need to recover
I need more time on the clock
I’ve been running for so long
Lord, I forgot how to walk
