Please Be Patient With Me

By Julie O'Hara - Author, Poet and Spiritual WarriorPublished about 11 hours ago 2 min read

Verse 1

I’ve been walking through the wreck of my life,

Trying to carry what’s mine to hold.

Some nights I’m close to losing my mind,

Some nights I feel a flicker of soul.

If I drift when you’re calling my name,

It’s just a wave that’s pulling its toll.

I’m somewhere between losing my mind

And finding my soul.

Verse 2

I’ve been picking up the things I dropped,

Trying to stand where the ground feels true.

Some days I’m steady as the morning light,

Some days I’m barely making it through.

If I tremble when the wind cuts in,

It’s just an old storm taking control.

I’m somewhere between losing my mind

And finding my soul.

Chorus

I’m somewhere between losing my mind

And finding my soul

So, please be patient with me.

I’m a like a little baby, learning as I go.

Caught in the pull of the fear or the faith,

Trying to follow the one that will help me grow.

So please be patient with me.

I’m somewhere between losing my mind

And finding my soul.

Bridge

I don’t need saving.

I just need time.

I’m walking that line

Between breaking apart

And coming alive.

Chorus

Chorus

I’m somewhere between losing my mind

And finding my soul

So, please be patient with me.

I’m a like a little baby, learning as I go.

Caught in the pull of the fear or the faith,

Trying to follow the one that will help me grow.

So please be patient with me.

I’m somewhere between losing my mind

And finding my soul.

Verse 3

I’ve been learning how to stay when it hurts,

Trying to trust what rises in me.

Some nights I feel a little more light,

Some nights I’m down on broken knees.

If I fade, it’s the pull of the past,

But I’m not letting go of the goal.

I’m somewhere between losing my mind

And finding my soul.

Chorus

Chorus

I’m somewhere between losing my mind

And finding my soul

So, please be patient with me.

I’m a like a little baby, learning as I go.

Caught in the pull of the fear or the faith,

Trying to follow the one that will help me grow.

So please be patient with me.

I’m somewhere between losing my mind

And finding my soul.
