I thought we would never meet
My path was so slippery
Yours was so refined
Then to my amazement
They met and were intertwined
Two upon an upward path
I saw you ahead of me
You were singing with a joy
And my heart was filled with awe
A few short steps to a friend
I shouted here I am
Thank God I'm not alone
That's when you turned around
And saw mud, sweat, and blood
I was unclean.
I remember crying
Crying with hurt and pain
Crying over your rejection
But God was there
To wipe away my tears
And ease my pain
Now I stand here
Still wishing we could walk together
Wondering why you forsook the higher ground
