  I Just Can't Seem To Fall
      

What if I were to speak such words you haven't heard?
And, what if I could teach you things that in life you haven't learned?
Questions I have asked but never an answer I can find
So, I wait until the higher heavens let me call you mine...

Now,  I live two ways through out every brand new day
And, nothing I do seems to take what I hold for you away
I live a part of me to a promise I made to last a lifetime through
But, I just can't seem to fall any harder than what I fell for you...

There's never been anyone other than you that I've fallen this hard
And, never been anyone other than you that I would go this far
So, tell me what if I can't ever walk alone?
Tell me, have you ever been to a kinder heart and home?...

I want in this world what I may never receive
Friend, I digrace in life all I was taught to believe
I don't care anymore what the world has to say
I just can't seem to fall where my heart should stay...

If it was meant to be it will surely be
A saying a desperate heart waits anxiously to see
One can change the road and direct a newer road to make
Cause destiny can be changed and any road you've planned to take...

So, I feel and trust what my heart can entice
I believe in myself and my way and what I feel can be right
I won't and I can't seem to fall where my heart surely should
But, rather it falls for you and the only place it could...

I don't know how to tell you what these tears are trying to
And, maybe my only way to freedom is if I walk it all with you
And, so I will just have to walk it through without looking in those eyes
And, hope that the morning brings me peace just the same as the evening skies...

Lord, I am sorry that I just can't seem to fall
But, Lord, In you and this path is where I've found it all
I am sorry I made a promise that I can not seem to keep
But, in us all, I'm where I am, Lord, just let me sleep.

Saun....

  You just expressed a belief I hold dear,
  but have never really been able to put
  into the proper words:

   "One can change the road and direct a
         newer road to make...
    cause destiny can be changed and any
         road you've planned to take.."

  I may frame this one, if it's ok........
    When I say this is great work,
          Believe me, I'm serious!!


Love received is equal to love given!
