Providence

Providence
(by Cary Cooper)

I had a fear of falling
I never learned to fly
I covered up my windows
To forget about the sky
I put my best foot forward
I kept it on the ground
I told myself that I was happy
But I was always looking down

Providence, Providence
In spite of all my fears
I leaped and you appeared

Inside my comfy little cage
I sang a lonesome little song
Pretended not to notice most days
That nobody sang along
But when my door was open
I’d dream a little dream
Imagine what might happen
If I dared to use my wings

Providence, Providence
In spite of all my fears
I leaped and you appeared

Time to ask your dreams to dance
God helps those who take a chance

I had a fear of falling
I never learned to fly
I covered up my windows
To forget about the sky
I put my best foot forward
Then I made up my mind
One little step for a woman
One giant leap for womankind

Providence, Providence
In spite of all my fears
I leaped and you appeared

I had a fear of falling
Then I heard a calling
