Blind Faith

Music by Van Taylor, Lyrics by Melissa Kate Miller  BMI ©2005

I had a headache last night when you laid down beside me.

It was the stress of the day catching up.

But then I felt your sweet arms around me,

and the strength of your love picked me up.

And I knew I was grateful for the love that I have with you--

You came into my life and changed it, made me feel brand new.

I'd been walking with blind faith, following shadows

trying to see my way into the light

It takes blind faith but I keep walking

til I'm alright til I'm alright

You see, six months ago-- let me tell you this story--

I was low as I'd ever been.

Empty and beaten, I'd given up my dreams

to run away from a bad scene. You see, I

met a man I thought was my destiny

or an angel in disguise--

But humans we carry our demons inside us;

before I knew it, he'd uncovered mine.

Wild and crazy and broke I knew I needed a place to run down.

Going home was my only option, but inside I was dying...

He said “You're losing your soul by going back home.”

Now imagine the pain that I felt. I said "Home is my failure zone--

It means I didn't make it; I'm washed up, spat out!” and I

can't believe that I didn't try hard enough,

Cause I exhausted what little I had!

But how can I stay when every day I'm feeling this bad?

So I came back, gave up my dreams, gave up my life

seeing no future ahead of me.

But I kept up, taking my steps, talking to God,

giving it up to find the real me.

And it's all about faith even when you feel nothing--

Going day to day until you get through;

and I've got the proof when each morning I wake up

and turn to see beautiful you.

Now I know nothing can stop me, cause I've already been to the ground

and I can take a running start and I'm free to love unconditional!

(Chorus)
