FINAL WORD... ?


I hope not...

TORNADO
SARA GROVES
.
You live your life like a tornado.
Destruction follows everywhere you go.
And (it seems) you have no plans to stop or slow, oh.
(But,) I will not let this bitter root grow in me.
I will not let you leave that legacy (in me),
But it gets so hard when pain (you've caused) is all I see oh.
And every time I find healing, you're making a new mess (or I'm hearing about another old one),
And I am learning the real meaning of forgiveness.
And I tried to remove myself from your path,
But I keep on waking up in the aftermath.
So I pick up again and say I won't look back, oh.
And I will not let this bitter root grow in me.
I will not let you leave that legacy,
But this constant fight is breaking (killing) me oh.
And every time I find healing, you're making a new mess,
And I am learning the real meaning of forgiveness.
And it hurts when you hit at the hearts of the ones I love;
When everything you touch is rubble and dust.
And it gets so hard to know how to trust,
But I will not let that bitter root grow.
I will not let it, no no. But it gets so hard oh.
And every time I find healing you're making a new mess,
And I am learning the real meaning of forgiveness.
And I could move and never send you a forwarding address,
Or I could learn the real meaning of forgiveness.
...
Still working on it...
Love, Connie
