who took it?

who snatched your smile
and then told you it wasn't yours?

who stole the sting of your faith
and dulled the power that is possessed?

who stole your ability to look in the mirror
and see the piece of God in us all?

who took it?

who ran away with your vision
of opportunity, power, and change?

who stole the idea that it is possible?

who told you death was the end
and heaven was not your home?

who spun you around, stole your direction
and sent you on your way?

who took it?

who took your rainbow after the rain
and tied you down to your past?

who told you "you wont win"?
who told you "you would fail'?

who took your dreams
and twisted their inspiration?
who took the symphony in your heart?

*smile*

for what is lost can always be found
and when it is recovered, no one or thing can take it

...your dreams, your faith, your smile, your vision,
your purpose, your power, your rainbow, your joy, your song

DONT LET THEM TAKE IT!

PRAY...
THAT THE THIEF AND LIAR
WHO WAITS TO TRIP YOU UP
IS DETAINED AND BOUND
BY THE FAITH IN THE ONE,
WHO PROVIDES ALL OUR NEEDS.
