Better Than I

I feel like I'm in a rat race, exploring my options and working towards achieving all these. Sometimes, I stop and take deep breaths. Sometimes, I push myself some more. Whenever I start to doubt why I'm doing all of this, I look at my daughter's face. The answer lies right there. We cannot find the solutions to all our problems in one go. We cannot answer all questions in one eureka moment. To wait patiently for the answer, to wait patiently for what is to come ... It can be extremely difficult. I have realized that sometimes, you just have to accept things the way they are. Do not regret anything. Everything has a purpose. I have realized that everything is fleeting. So, enjoy every happy moment. Do not dwell on things that make you sad. It will pass. Everything will pass ... Lord, you know better than I. I trust in you.

Better Than I

I thought I did what’s right
I thought I had the answers
I thought I chose the surest road
But that road brought me here

So I put up a fight
And told you how to help me
Now just when I have given up
The truth is coming clear

You know better than I
You know the way
I’ve let go the need to know why
For you know better than I

If this has been a test
I cannot see the reason
But maybe knowing I don’t know
Is part of getting through

I try to do what’s best
And faith has made it easy
To see the best thing I can do
Is put my trust in you

For You know better than I
You know the way
I’ve let go the need to know why
For you know better than I

I saw one cloud and thought it was a sky
I saw a bird and thought that I could follow
But it was you who taught that bird to fly
If I let you reach me will you teach me

For You know better than I
You know the way
I’ve let go the need to know why
I’ll take what answers you supply
You know better than I
