take me back again

i didn’t think that i was losing touch
i felt i never really bothered much
i thought the fire was still there somewhere
i didn’t see that i was never there
i walked my path and held on to your hand
but never really thought of what that meant
and though i know you patiently held on
i didn’t realize that i was gone

now my eyes miss Your sight
my hands cry out to hold Yours again
my ears long to hear Your voice
telling me that i was always meant to be Yours

a friend of mine helped me turn this poem into a song…which resulted into this extended edited version.. thanks zac! -aimee [january 30, 2006 10:30am]

i didn’t think that i was losing touch
i never really bothered much
saw the fire but didn’t feel the flame

i always thought that i would find my way
doing what you want anyway
somehow it didn’t feel the same

i walked my path and held your hand
but never thought of what that really meant
and though you patiently held on
i didn’t realize that i was gone

now my eyes they’re starting to miss the sight of You
now my hands are crying out to be in Yours again
and i long to hear what you’ve been saying all these years
if i turned and walked to you
you’d take me back again

it seemed as if i strayed far from your gaze
when tears were falling from my face
i heard you whispering my name

i saw the light but kept myself from view
i had a feeling you always knew
but i was hiding in my shame

and i was hastening my stride
i didn’t notice i had left your side
and though you patiently looked on
i had the feeling i was all alone

now my eyes they’re starting to miss the sight of you
now my hands are crying out to be in Yours again
and i long to hear what you’ve been saying all these years
now when i turned and walked to you

you opened up your arms and let me know
that where ever i may go
you’d be always faithful, for that i’m grateful
it’s never gonna be enough to show

now my eyes, open up to see what always could’ve been
now your hands hold me with the love i fin’lly understand
I’ve long to feel this stillness all these years
somehow i felt i always knew
i wasted time away from you
i should have turned and come to you
to take me back again
