Heal You in Time - Gretta Ray

When I was a child, I made you mine

Learned the depths, of your design

You were vibrant and wild, appeared so bold

So full of life, invulnerable

From day one you took me in

Went on to shape me into all I am

And I came to believe, I knew you best

But I didn’t think ahead

Riddled with excitement, who could have foretold?

You were far from eternal by default

All was calm until the day

They came in thinking they could pave the way

They, the demons that take, won’t hesitate

To feel the fire and seal our fate

I want to hold on

To all that you are for longer

But I can feel you changing as you age

And I know the way that you were

Isn’t the way you will be

But keep hoping I can make you fine

And heal you in time

Though at home in your warmth, when you grow cold

The way you wrap me in your arms, it won’t get old

Though a valiant force, one to be reckoned with

You’re gracious at best with only love to give

But I have watched as over time

They’ve made a slave of you and run you dry

They’ve broken you down, hollowed you out

Is there nothing left but doubt now?

I want to hold on

To all that you are for longer

But I can feel you changing as we age

And I know the way that you were

Isn’t the way you will be

But keep hoping I can make you fine

And heal you in time

All’s not lost if I can make you fine

You’re all I’ve got, I want to heal you in time

All’s not lost if I can make you fine

You’re all I want, I’ve got to heal you in time

All’s not lost if I can make you fine

You’re all I’ve got, I want to heal you in time

All’s not lost if I can make you fine

I’ve got to heal you in time

I want to hold on

To all that you are for longer

But I can feel you changing as we age

Although the way that you were

Isn’t the way you will be

I’ll keep hoping I can make you fine

And heal you in time, in time, in time

Heal you in time, in time, in time
