In the Hands of God

Gentle strum of guitar, soft piano notes

And I, I keep on walking this lonely road

Once a fool, maybe twice

Nice intentions turned to ice

Thought I knew the game, thought I knew the score

But I opened up, and now my heart's sore

Count 'em up, one, two, three, four

Mistakes behind, left me wanting more

Fifth time's the charm? Maybe not, I’m not sure

But I keep believing there's a cure

Oh, I hear the loneliest song

In every note, where I belong

Waiting for the one who’ll catch my soul

In the quiet, in the whole

Will I find my all, my rhyme?

Or am I just running out of time?

Turnin’ my heart over to divine

Hoping, praying, crossing the line

Six and seven, eight and nine

All these chances, all this time

Fading shadows, fading light

Seeking love in the silence of the night

Ten times, I surrender, I pray

Putting my faith at the break of day

In the hands of God, I lay my fate

Hoping for love, beyond this state

I was once a fool, well maybe twice

It seems like that's what you get when your nice

I was mistaken it was thrice probably even four

That I allowed people in, now my heart is sore

Then I did again the fifth time can't be wrong

And now all I hear is the loneliest song

Six and seven times even eight and nine

When shall I find the one whose all mine

The tenth time yes I say with I nod

Because I'm leaving it all in the hands of God...
