Lyrics by Lauren Becker~ July, 2011 ©

I wake from dreams and into fear
Yesterday’s doubts still lingering clear
Leave my pillow and brush my hair
Close up questions try to prepare
For what the day will hold

Is this circumstance a ball and chain
Or freedom from a greater pain
Where is grace to connect my head and heart
And courage now to sing this part

My feet drag cares all across the floor
I know I’m rich but I feel so poor
Pitiful faith like hunger gnaws
But true is no less true because
Of what I feel today

I’m stuck in a game of chutes and ladders
Trying to climb to what matters
But it’s one step up and a long slide down
Maybe that’s where sight is found
To see beyond myself

Is this circumstance a ball and chain
Or freedom from a greater pain
Where is grace to connect my head and heart
And courage now to sing this part

Is this circumstance a ball and chain
Or freedom from a greater pain
I need grace to connect my head and heart
And courage now to sing this part
