LE

not sure how to say this, but
we're here, you and i
and life's passing us by
but see, here's the thing
you're not gonna leave unnoticed
and you're writing a story
with every breath that you breathe

so run, farther than
the oceans are wide
there's no reason to hide
'cause you're infinite
and grace has a glorious resound
no higher love can be found

not sure how to say this, but
your heart speaks the words
and your soul can be heard
in my melody
you're not gonna leave unnoticed
and i'm writing this song
'cause you carry me along

[i'm calling to you
and i know you can hear it
'cause we're the same
in name
and spirit]



this song was written my by best friend….inspired by our friendship. I’m not a poet, or writer in any sense, and I wondered how she could read me so well and put it into song form. She’s an artist to the core, a singer on the stage, a performer, a well known figure and I’m so incredibly proud of her. However, do NOT envy that spotlight, I love being the backstage support crew, the one who’ll give an honest opinion, the friend who comes to every show and stays till the end. I’m not gifted in that sense. Don’t get me wrong, I love attention, but I’m the comedian, not performer, nothing intimate. But she moves mountains, moves people through her words, her songs, she inspires anyone who meets her. honestly. I sometimes feel insignificant to her, not at all in a jealous way, but a way that I’m in awe of, a way that leaves me to question how I can be friends with someone so amazing, so unbelievable. I’ve never mentioned that to her, to anyone, she just sense it in my soul, that I worry I’ll leave this world without making the impact that I so desperately want to. she can feel the insecurity of my past in my soul, and reassures me I don’t need to hide.

God works through her and i pray He is always glorified through our friendship.
