Crushed
(Lori Harris)
Crushed
Lori Harris, 2003
Ache sorrow
Blank stare
Only so many words to say
Dreams swallowed
Fallen by the wayside
As my life takes a different shape
Than I ever wanted it to
How long will I leave this lesson unlearned?
How wide will I let this spiral turn?
Until the price to pay attention beats the cost
Of going around again and again again
(chorus)
So I stand with a choice
Will I do the hard thing
Though it isn’t safe it’s good
To do the right thing
I need strength
Lord give me the strength
To do the hard thing
Slay this dragon once and for all
Do the hard thing
(bridge)
There’s not a dream a man can have
That can’t be crushed
But the crushed can be restored
When we do what we must
Storm raging
Slow gaze
Out there’s a wide open door
Gold brick road
Mosaic vase of dreams overflowing on the floor
And like a moth to flame
I’m drawn to that door
(chorus)
