| This time 'round I’ll be like water
|
| I have learned to let it flow
|
| There is no need to dam me
|
| I will go where I must go
|
| And I’ll drop this suit of armor
|
| And put away my thorny crown
|
| Gonna lay my heart wide open
|
| This time 'round
|
| This time 'round I’ll be a giver
|
| I have saved me long enough
|
| I will dig down to the bottom
|
| And I’ll fill me right back up
|
| And I’ll end this search for savior
|
| I’ll be a lost without a found
|
| A pilgrim on life’s highway
|
| This time ‘round
|
| Every time I play the game of love I play to win
|
| And it always breaks me open
|
| And I try to fly but fall and crash and burn
|
| That’s how I learn
|
| This time 'round I’ll be forgiving
|
| I have harmed myself too long
|
| I will speak the words of healing
|
| And it will fill my heart with song
|
| And I’ll sing this song with others
|
| Who were born to make the sound
|
| A ragged choir of angels
|
| This time 'round
|
| As I sail out on the ocean
|
| And I look back on the shore
|
| I can see the sweet perfection
|
| Of the ones I’ve loved before
|
| In each face I see the lesson
|
| That has brought me here and now
|
| They will all give me their blessing this time 'round
|
| Oh every time we play the game of love we play to win
|
| And it always breaks us open
|
| And we try to fly but fall and crash and burn
|
| That’s how we learn to love again
|
| This time 'round |
