What took me so long
Until I came around
With my head in the clouds
And my feet on the ground
And these days when I fix
My eyes upon us
I think back to when time
Seemed so unjust
How I wondered and wandered
And wrangled and worried
And now I know that
Life shouldn’t be hurried
My eyes were set downward
And I was called petulant
But change was a-comin’
Transformation was imminent
So I say and I think to myself
Why it took me
So long to see
This shift that has shook me
My heart and my hands,
From my top to my bottom
Just what I was needing,
Now I have gotten
