Nothing Ordinary I used to think that when I viewed the world and life And, found powerful in their being That, along with my mind, I received more than a view I knew there was nothing ordinary in what I was seeing... My eyes, through a child, was able to capture a sense of awe in it all And, being six years old my mind looked at things through an older soul Sitting there upon that metal tower along the old railroad tracks Never once found myself playing a six year olds role... I knew then, in spite of my reality at home I had a vision that very few would ever see So, when the dirt and the hatred through each day was done I went back to the older, more insightful, side of me... I know now that years have aged this heart My six year old mind still remains just through older eyes Just now I can actually touch what I viewed so long ago Still no one can convince me there isn't something special about that sky... For you can look at a tree and simply see a tree But, you could never change that there's more to it than that to me You see the leaves and it's holder and how it stands all year through But, there's nothing ordinary about it and what God intended it to do... For there are reasons, a way of breathing, in a simple rainbow Each color has a message if you'll just stop turning away I can promise you if you'd seriously look at it's ageless display You'd, also, never go back to an ordinary day... Through my miles, I've met many, and each has touched me in ways And, all of you have you're own unique set of wings But, the those of you who have the concept of appreciation to God's great gifts Are the ones, to me, that I hear your souls rise and ring... Luckily, I found an extra amazing person that sees beyond my face And, knows there's a greater side to me then just a girl in pain He believes in me and what my mind has to offer myself And, he knows no matter the storms I could never change... I have come to love this man for so many reasons And, I'm not sure if he really understands why He has the eyes to see beyond the ordinary things in life And, he finds some magical way to help me fly... I love him for seeing past the physical part of myself For knowing someday my mind is going to be my freedom for good And, if there's an ounce of goodness he claims he can see Then I've accomplished everything I had hoped I would... There's so nothing ordinary about his beautiful face And, sometimes I find myself so lost in the way he holds his eyes It's like I can find all wonderful that was replaced with terrible my whole life Just being there in the delicate form by his side... There's nothing ordinary in my thoughts of what wish I so clearly view I just know no matter what I am I still can't ever be enough Because my so not ordinary thoughts I have of this man I hold Has limits to the day, to the night, and even to us... I just hope that my heart speaks out louder than the words I can't sometimes say And, I hope my nothing ordinary thoughts are OK I could never explain how I've gotten to this point all the way through I just don't wanna be that ordinary girl that he once knew... Have you ever felt a hand that lacked any hurtful ideas behind it? I did just a few weeks ago God, in that moment I found that there really are angels as well There just aren't words on how hard his hand was to let go... Forgive me if I cling to the only sunshine I've ever got to feel But, I'm not sorry I got to experience what was so awesomely real Understand I would never ask nor expect from him what in his life is so dear Just gotta know, that in me, in my new beginning, there's nothing ordinary here... *Sauni* Sauni @~~~>~~ |

"My eyes, through a child, was able to capture a sense of awe in it all And, being six years old my mind looked at things through an older soul Sitting there upon that metal tower along the old railroad tracks Never once found myself playing a six year olds role..." Time to go back and be a young six year old for a while, if only in a mind's visit? I never climbed any towers, but climbed my share of trees. You can get a very different perspective of life from a higher vantage point. That's why I used to hike up to the tops of mountains, to get away from my own low lying thoughts. |
