This Race

An old friend I return to you
Again and again
Just like the wind
You are here with me

I feel you as close as my skin
Time after time, lost in the woods
You are the compass I need
Night after night, tempted and weak

You speak the truth and I'm freed
You have been a father to me
A mother a sister a brother to me
I can't forget what you've done
Crawling or walking this race will be run

Deep inside, everyone feels
The need doesn't change
But we don't always heal

On this ride it can get pretty rough
But Your tender love is making me tough
Prepared for eternity
Like an old friend
Again and again
