I used to fly down this road
Like a butterfly with the wind at its back
Full of life, never at a loss for words,
A gem with nothing to lack

Now it seems as if my wings have been broken
I have fallen hard onto the stony ground
My words have escaped me, as well as my joy
Without a hint, or even a trace to be found

And as I am still before God
He restores to me His strength
More that Time taken his toll,
And the day his length

But now life's not so much the "joy ride"
My childish days are through
And now all that I know
Is Love and praising You

So now my hope rests in His Love
My faith is gently growing
My cares are taken with the wind
And laughter's tears still flowing
