Katie-lynn

Katie-Lynn, you've always lived your life out loud
You know that's something I have always loved you for
Katie-Lynn, this one has brought you to the ground
Katie-Lynn, we all feel we've let you down
Katie-Lynn, I am unsure of what to say
'Cause you and I both know it's been too long
Katie-Lynn, it finally came to me today
Katie-Lynn, I didn't take the time to pray

So all the words you heard were bouncing
Bouncing off of you
And all the lines drawn in to save you
Were just getting in the way of love
And did you ever believe what we were saying?
And can I blame you?
'Cause how transparent was I, were you looking at me?

Katie-Lynn, you've always had those dancing gypsy eyes
And a spirit that longed to try its wings
Petite ouseau, you flew into a clouded sky
How could you see your good intentions wouldn't get you by

But you could rise upon the wings of the eagles
If you would only choose to leave the empty way you live
Could you see, could you see you don't have to prove yourself to me
Let it go, let your pain finally slide off your back
Down at His feet

'Cause all the love He shows is just bouncing
And all the hands we're reaching out are just getting in the way
And if it's gonna take more to hold you
To show you're loved in spite of you
Well, how transparent am I when you're looking at me?

So you can see I know you've chosen your own way
And it's hard but it's the road you've travelled on
And I pray my life more than these words
Will clearly say that Jesus loves you
He's loved you all along
