Over 20 years old now....
Jan. 27th, 2006 04:35 pmAll of my life seems I've waitedThe first time I heard this song I was surprised. A song about self-acceptance and self-discovery is fine, but I wasn't expecting it on a Christian album. The lyrics seems a bit childish. Yet, over time it became the song I'd dig that old tape out to listen to.
For the time to start
Being the person inside of me
Unafraid of being me
No more faces to hide behind
Just a smile and a dream that's mine
Even if I am the only one who wants to fly
- from "I'm Gonna Fly" by Amy Grant, 1981
And every once in a while I find I still need to stop hiding and be me.
