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 ends
I was hurt, I was lost
In the dark I found the 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, 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 me roots
Tossed astray, far away, in my darkest night I started to pray

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 on there
