From the recording Second Time Around
Lyrics
Second Time Around – Cynthia Clark & Cherise Carver
Although the battle was won
I feared the war was not done
Just as normal started to feel ok
I’m back here holding your hand
Trying to help you understand
Treatment by treatment each day by each day
Each night I quietly weep
As I sit up watching you sleep
And I pray for strength to be strong
I pray you will heal
I pray this isn’t real
It all seems unfair and so wrong
It’s hard to be strong
In these moments alone
With my heart shedding tears down, down my sleeve
Sometimes all I can do
Is do nothing at all
Except pray for the courage to believe
There’s a reason
What’s the reason
Then The Spirit comes down
For the second time around
I know you’re tired and scared
In these moments we share
It breaks my heart to see the fear in your eyes
When I see your precious face
I’d give my life to take your place
Could this journey be a blessing in disguise
Your gentle smile is my sun
like before when you won
I know you’ll triumph with stories to tell
You got the world by your side
You’re not alone on this ride
My little warrior you’re gonna ring that bell
It’s hard to be strong
In these moments alone
With my heart shedding tears down, down my sleeve
Sometimes all I can do
Is do nothing at all
Except pray for the courage to believe
There’s a reason
What’s the reason
Then The Spirit comes down
For the second time around
All the prayers and the love
Help to keep me above
Falling under
Still I wonder
If there’s a reason
What‘s the reason
Then The Spirit comes down
For the second time around
