Let, <br />Me live. <br />My life. <br />Knowing... <br />That it is, <br />My life... <br />To grow. <br />And, <br />Let me live. <br />My life... <br />Growing. <br />As it is... <br />My life, <br />To know... <br />There's more, <br />I don't know! <br /> <br />You can't be everywhere... <br />When I'm humbled, <br />After stum'bling. <br /> <br />You can't be everywhere... <br />To see me, <br />On my knees. <br /> <br />And you can't be everywhere... <br />When night falls, <br />And I'm crying. <br />Freed from hiding my own tears. <br />To understand my life for what it is! <br /> <br />You can't be everywhere... <br />To see me. <br />And... <br />How I heal. <br /> <br />So let me live... <br />My life. <br />Knowing... <br />That it is, <br />My life... <br />To grow. <br />And, <br />Let me live. <br />My life... <br />Growing. <br />As it is... <br />My life, <br />To know... <br />There's more, <br />I don't know! <br /> <br />And-I-say... <br />You can't be everywhere. <br />When I'm humbled, <br />After stum'bling. <br /> <br />You can't be everywhere... <br />To see me, <br />On my knees. <br />No... <br />You can't be everywhere, <br />When I'm pleading desperately... <br />I must be me. <br />Just me. <br /> <br />No, <br />You can't be everywhere... <br />To see me. <br />And... <br />How I heal. <br /> <br />You can't be everywhere... <br />To see me. <br />And... <br />How I heal. <br /> <br />So let me live, <br />My life... <br />Growing. <br />As it is... <br />My life, <br />To know... <br />There's more, <br />I don't know! <br /> <br />So let me live, <br />My life... <br />To know, <br />There's so much I don't know. <br /> <br />It's my life! <br />And... <br />So much I don't know!<br /><br />Lawrence S.
