Tornado ~ Sara Groves

Sara Groves - Tornado

You live your life like a tornado.
Destruction follows everywhere you go.
And you have no plans to stop or slow
I will not let this bitter root grow in me.
I will not let you leave that legacy,
But it gets so hard when pain is all I see

And every time I find healing,
you`re making a new mess,
And I am learning the real meaning of forgiveness.
And I tried to remove myself from your path,
But I keep on waking up in the aftermath.
So I pick up again and say
I won`t look back
And I will not let this bitter root grow in me.
I will not let you leave that legacy,
But this constant fight is breaking me

And every time I find healing,
you`re making a new mess,
And I am learning the real meaning of forgiveness.

And it hurts when you hit at the hearts of the ones I love;
When everything you touch is rubble and dust.
And it gets so hard to know how to trust,
But I will not let that bitter root grow.
I will not let it, no no.

But it gets so hard
And every time I find healing
you`re making a new mess,
And I am learning the real meaning of forgiveness.
And I could move and never send you a forwarding address,
Or I could learn the real meaning of forgiveness.

We CANNOT control the actions of others. We can only choose for ourselves how we will respond. Will you live the rest of your life, making others pay for the hurtful actions of someone else? You don't HAVE to. Just sayin'.
