THE WRITTEN GARDENS...THE WRITTEN GARDENS...THE WRITTEN GARDENS...THE WRITTEN GARDENS
GAIL'S GARDENS
how do I move on through muddy waters
without resolution or peace in sight
how do I give up on someone I love
when I will not give up my love's light
I'm challenging myself to move on now
though that means settling in the unknown
ignorance may be bliss for some it seems
but I want more than a blind monotone
in the song of my life
I want answers
I want knowledge, awareness, and peace
I don't want to accept ignorance
I want to express and release
all the love in my heart
that's the answer
why so many hold back I don't know
I want to understand and help them
but it's up to them to show
all the love in their heart...
that's the only want they'll ever grow
how do I trust a self-defeating child
without settling myself up for a fall
I must not depend on them to help me
I must be prepared to do it all
I'm challenging myself to move on now
though that means accepting another's cruel choice
one day she may see how she's hurting herself
until then I only have my voice
to sing the song of my life
that's my answer
to find knowledge, awareness, and peace
I will not accept ignorance
I shall let myself release
all the love in my heart
that's the answer
what others do is not how I feel
and the best way to understand and help them
is to be true to myself... and to be real
so I move on through these muddy waters
even if that means leaving her behind
she refuses all my love and offers
she chooses to be deaf dumb and blind
I'm not giving up, I'm just not waiting
it's time to get on with my dreams
one day she may choose to learn, but for today
ignorance is bliss for her it seems
and the song of my life
that's my answer
to share knowledge, awareness, and peace
I will not defeat myself
I allow my release
all the love in my heart
that's the answer
sharing it is the way i must go
and the way to be best I can be for anyone
is to let my true self show
I sing the song of my life now
just so you can know
all the love in my heart
welcome to the new flow
as the truth shows
the river clears... as it flows
