I once dreamt of rings
You know diamonds and things
But I don’t want that anymore
I needed the fame
And the wealth that it brings
But I don’t need that anymore
I longed for a man
That nerdy CEO
But I don’t want that anymore
A multi-media empire
My own TV show
But that isn’t pleasing anymore
I’d look in the mirror
And see a Cover Girl
But that’s not important anymore
I ran near and far
Trying to capture my dream
I’m not looking anymore
I shut off my hopes
I’ve closed off my will
I’m different than before
I’ll follow you, Lord
Wherever you lead
Only you can open a door
Show me your plan
Show me your purpose
Yes, I am glad that I have grown
It took being in the wilderness
For me to get here
But it’s the most fruitful time I’ve ever known
I began this journey
With one simple hope
Financial stability for me and my sons
What I’ve gained in hindsight
Is so much more valuable
Complete trust in You and your Son
