LYRIC FOR SALE

By Lisa Malick

Verse 1
It was a bitter day in May
When life brought me to my knees
Years of grief and disappointment
Left me aching to be seen

Verse 2
Grieving the loss of love
And the life that I had planned
Feeling adrift and unnoticed
In a world of shifting sands

Verse 3
Struggling with a loss
Too deep for friends to share
Even ones who had been like family
Didn't have time to spare

Chorus 1
Looking around me
Unseen for so long
Just like a shadow
No place where I belonged
On my own
And feeling alone
No one beside me
Adrift without a home

Verse 4
On a warm Tuesday evening
We met for the first time
Such gentle humor and quiet strength
But it just wasn't time

Verse 5
As we became friends
I felt God might have picked you for me
Could you be the one I'd been praying for?
In time, I hoped I'd see

Verse 6
As the jagged edge of grief dulled
like a saw left out in the rain
I surrendered that blade
And saw that joy could follow pain

Verse 7
When we had our first date
Well, it was set in stone
Because when you hugged me goodnight
Your arms felt like home

Chorus 2
When you looked at me
I felt seen and I felt strong
When you sat beside me
I knew where I belonged
I had you
and I knew I wasn't alone
Because when you wrapped your arms around me
I knew that I was home

Bridge
And ever since that day
It's clear we were meant to be
We've built a life together
And raised a family

Chorus 3
Every time you look at me
I am seen and I am strong
You are beside me
And I know where I belong
I have you
And I'm never alone
You wrap your arms around me
and I am home

Oh, I have you
And I'm never alone
You wrap your arms around me
and I am home
