Winning Streak

The most beautiful people I know have suffered immeasurable loss

Then found their way out of the depths - richer for paying the cost

Of having a dream disappear or finding a hope paralyzed

Beautiful people don’t happen overnight

I believe there is a place where

We are fully who we were always meant to be

How it happens? All I know is

No one gets there on a winning streak

I didn’t know how to forgive the things that I couldn’t forget

I wasn’t ready to change - I hadn’t failed enough yet

My self-righteousness was a wall and when it came falling apart

Freedom was found in the breaking of my heart

I believe there is a place where

We are fully who we were always meant to be

How it happens? All I know is

No one gets there on a winning streak

If it feels like you’re losing again and again

Not one minute is wasted of that pain

I believe there is a place where

We are fully who we were always meant to be

Kind and gracious, forgiving and patient

With compassion for the wounded and the weak

How it happens? All I know is

No one gets there on a winning streak
