The Journey

Maybe you'll look back someday
     on what you used to be
On the things that held you down
     before you found your way to me
The purpose that you longed for
     the attention that you craved
And all the pain I washed away
     when you became my slave

Because we're going on a journey
     that will surely change us both
Along the road before us
     opportunities for growth
We'll face them all united
     together you and I
We'll conquer every mile
     and bid our former selves goodbye

I promise I'll protect you
     as we tread the winding way
I'll teach you how to kneel and serve
     and how you should obey
And if you can learn to trust me
     then I'll always steer you right
I'll lead you through your bad days
     and I'll guide you through the night

Are you ready to begin, my love?
     and take a leap of faith
I'll meet you on the other side
     and there I'll keep you safe
The path ahead will challenge you
     no treasure comes for free
Every dream demands a price
     and courage pays the fee

So take my hand and walk with me
     the future waits ahead
Leave yesterday behind you now
     let old regrets lie dead
The road is long, but side by side
     there's nothing we can't do
You'll find the life you longed to live
     and I'll be there with you
