Ravine

Have you heard, have you heard About this girl who was ripped up by her roots Have you heard, what she learned Like humility you win when you lose I have learned, I have learned The most horrifying nights have an end I was hurt, I was lost In the dark I found a way to a friend I am standing here in my ravine Once again I see a piece of the sky And my joy'll never be denied 'Cause I was meant to be here The only place on earth Where you are near, where you are near Was a flower, was so frail And I let the trees grow wild around me Grew so high, hid the sky Shaded everything I needed to see Then one night, someone came Took a knife and ripped me up by my roots Tossed astray, far away In the darkest night, I started to pray I am standing Why do you, why do you ask Why I'm not blaming my God I'll tell you, I'll tell you what He was the only one there I am standing
