| Looking for me |
| |
Anyone found me?
I'm looking for me! |
|
|
 |
|
I'm a little girl masquerading as a woman.
I got lost along the way, wanting to be all for everyone, leaving none for me. |
| |
Anyone found me?
I'm looking for me! |
| |
I'm a mother, a lover, a sister, a friend, my different roles I play so very well,
An Oscar winner I could be. |
| |
But has anyone found me, the real me?
Because I'm looking for me! |
| |
I'm professional, I'm witty, some say charming as well.
But has anyone seen me?
I'm looking for me! |
| |
Like a pressure cooker I'll explode if I don't find me soon.
Has anyone found me? I'm looking for me... |
| |
| Ssssssh, my child, |
| |
Before you were born, I named you and ordained you.
Rest with Me a while, for My yoke is easy and My burden is light. |
| |
You are who I say you are.
When you search for me with your whole heart you'll find the Me you're looking for. |
| |
| you can! |
| |
| What happens when you think you can't? |
| |
| You can. |
| |
| What happens when you believe you can't? |
| |
| You can. |
| |
| What happens when everyone else... |
| |
| You can. |
| |
| What happens when you... |
| |
| You can. |
| |
| But what if you've... |
| |
| You can. |
| |
| What happens when I really just can't? |
| |
| HE CAN! |
| |
| He was just waiting for you to cast your can't onto Him so YOU CAN! |
