It's a hard world for a second guess girl With one hand and another I try to take it in but it leaves me spinning Trying to love my sister and brother Is this confidence born of a calling Is this ego and pride before falling Are we standing to fight for what's right Are we angry and hopelessly blind? Are we companions of Job or prophets of God Are we not of this world or just painfully odd Is it time for free grace or tough love Or a little of all the above?
