about

"This is a personal song full that reflects feelings more than reality... it is written from the limited viewpoint of someone (me, in this case) who feels locked up inside and has naturally pushed others away.

The love of my wife, family and friends has gotten me far, but He, whose love is limitless, is the absolute Hope above all hopes for me."

-Jason Birdwell

lyrics

I search through my mind
Was it pain or unkindness
That caused my retreat
And dulled memories

I stopped wanting more
And closed the door
On others in fear
But from You I still hear:

“Emotions are fair, sadness is real
Pain will always guide you
To the hurt that needs healed”

You offer me aid,
And sometimes I’m swayed
Maybe someday I’ll wait
And finally I’ll say

This is what I’ve looked for
Comfort that leads to a cure
And when I want more
You’ll always open the door

The new chances come
To love someone
And their trust is at stake
If my wall won’t break

So now I’m alone,
On my own
And frustration I find
While You remind that

“I’m always there
Waiting to be
The Father that will guide you
To a life that is free”

You offer me aid,
And sometimes I’m swayed
Maybe this day I’ll wait
And finally I’ll say

This is what I’ve looked for
Comfort that leads to a cure
And when I want more
You’ll always open the door

D | G | F | C |
Imagine being someone who
Wants to relate
But only is forcing
His loved ones to wait
Even though some may see him
As a man who gives more
He feels like a failure
To those he adores

He promises, plans
And avoids new mistakes
But ties himself down more
With each step he makes
Is there someone who’ll come through,
And will never retreat
And at the end of all striving
Is waiting to be

What I’ve looked for
Comfort that leads to a cure
And when I want more
You’ll always open the door
