On Oceans of Blue

the head of a bull
the will of an ass
the gall of an eagle
the smarts of a fox
i hit my head against a wall
my stubborn self
my field tripping self
i intended to find my own way
my ornery self
my single minded self
i fought the good fight
or whichever one i could pick
until my knees were bloody
and my cuts had cuts
until my knuckles bared
and my teeth fell out
i knew i was a fool
i knew when i was wrong
but i could never admit it
i could never stray from my wandering path
call it pride
call it foolishness
call it whatever you please
but most of all
it was pure rebellion
i rebelled
why?
why not?

the heart of a dove
the will of an ocean
the love of a mother
the faith of a child
i turned away from my wall
my stubborn self
my field tripping self
i finally found The Way
my ornery self
my single minded self
i fight the good fight
now that i know what it is
until my heart shines
and my love has love
until my mind is pure
and my sin has fallen
i know i was a fool
i know when i was wrong
and He forgave me
although i strayed from His righteous path
call it pride
call it foolishness
call it whatever you please
but most of all
it was pure rebellion
i rebelled
now?
now i am His.
