Straight Ahead At The End Of The Court

Zella Mayzell


Of all of the fears I've grown to love 
Im frightened the most of missing you 
I punish myself for finding joy 
And focus on what I have to lose 
Its hard to believe in what he says 
When I have the strength to silence lies 
Hearing now I feel secure 

I know its worthy of the pride I sacrificed 
And all of the tears I cried tonight 
Show me faith I dream about 
As long as youre here Im strong 
And I'll believe in every word I heard you say tonight 
Finding peace despite tonight 
Youre the strength I lack tonight 
and steadier than I am 

Youre folding your fingers into mine 
You tell me that healing comes in time 
It wont be the same again 
Do you believe in rebirth and lives becoming new 
Its hard to believe in much now 
The weight is crushing me now and cutting off my air 
Im finding hard to stand at all 

You've gotta relate to this 
I want you to tell me yes
Knowing you have my trust 
Believing its for the best 
Feeling this vulnerable 
Letting down every wall 
Not looking down on me 
My walk becomes a crawl 

I want the winter to have died and turned to spring 
I'll see the cold and frigid glances passing through 
We'll watch the grass begin to power through the soil 
We'll watch the grass begin to power through the soil 
We'll watch the grass begin to power through the soil 
We'll watch the scales fall 

I know its worthy of the pride I sacrificed 
And all of the tears I cried tonight 
Show me faith I dream about 
As long as youre here I'll strong 
And I'll believe in every word I heard you say tonight 
Finding peace despite tonight 
You're strength I lack tonight 
and steadier than I am 

And I'll remember every bone I heard that broke tonight 
Seeking solace from the light 
My eyes have seen too much tonight 
My ears have heard their full 
Will you remember all the times you said you wade with me 
Through the dark till we can see 
All the sharks with clarity 
You're steadier than I am
