raised so high

i had been feeling totally out of place,
totally lost in the swirl of life,
and confused and caught up in the rush.
my heart had been scarred,
my trust had been removed,
and my dreams had all been squashed,
stepped upon by people around me in my life.

i had lost all heart, all hope,
tears clouded my vision all the time,
and in those tears i continued to hurt.
but lately i have overcome that,
lately my life is brilliant and all is heping me heal.
in the past few weeks my dreams have been revived,
my heart has been healed,
and my trust is back with more force than i've ever had before.

there's a reason for all this that has been revived,
i know what it is that has healed me,
and i'm so thankful for that reason.
and there is such a simple thing that can show you life,
there are so many words, feelings that can raise you higher
than you've ever been.
i thank God for the reason i have healed,
for i have been up and down before,
but never before have i been raised so high.
