It's Possible Lyrics

As a little girl life seemed full of endless possibilities

It was as if the world was an oyster

And I was ready to consume every opportunity

Placed before me

There was nothing I couldn't do

I knew that if I set my mind to something

I would accomplish it

I knew that nothing in the world would stop me

If I went after it with my whole heart

I believed that I could do all things through Christ

Who strengthened me

And with one foot in front of the other

I went

I kept going

I didn't give up

I didn't look back

For the future that I desired was in front of me

Until one day

I discovered

No one would believe in me as much as I did

And I got my first taste of failure

It was like eating a spoonful of cinnamon

Over and over and over again

It was hard to digest

I begin to think

That maybe living in my head

Wasn't such a great idea after all

And the vision that was once as sweet

As honey cornbread

Became as bitter as black coffee with nothing in it

Though I could see the vision in my head

I didn't know how to obtain it or take hold of it

And there was no one that could help me

Because they didn't have my eyes

I know you're wondering

What did I see exactly

I saw more

I saw more for myself

I saw more for my family

I saw more for my future children

I saw more for my future husband

I saw more for my community

I saw more for the world

I just saw more

There weren't any limits

Matter of fact they never existed

The problem occurred

When I didn't know how to go get the more

And intrusive thoughts begin to attack the more

That had been freely given to me since birth

Without asking I received more vision

And more faith to believe that because of my Father

I could be anything I wanted to be

Then suddenly the locusts got ahold of my vision

And started chipping away like a predator to its prey

And where things were once clear

They became foggy

The more became futile

Yet the piece that remained was my faith

Faith to believe that if I held onto

That little piece of hope

My vision would be restored

Without warning

It took away the last piece I held onto

And I was knocked down again

This time I couldn't get back up

Because without vision life just wasn't worth living

Of course I could've gone to the doctor

To receive a new set of eyes

And possibly someone else's

But it just wouldn't fit the authentic version of me

I was created to be

And where there is no vision the people perish

It was in that place I died along with my vision

No one could restore it

Because I was surrounded by bones

Dry brittle bones

I journeyed to the cemetery

And there lay beside me my hopes and dreams

There were the books I never wrote

The songs I never sang

The businesses I never started

The collaborations I never made

On top of all these things were spiderwebs

I took a closer look and saw the words

Fear of failure

That's when I knew it wasn't the locust's fault

It was mine for not using the power

That was freely given to me from within

To keep pushing in spite of the adversity

For casting my vision off to the grave

Where the powers of darkness held on to it to hurt me

And stop God's plan for my life

With the last breath in my lungs

I called to my Father God to give me another chance

And then I closed my eyes

I awoke to the life I always wanted to live

And I heard the words

It is never too late for you my child

You have my breath in your body

So that means that you can be all that you want to be

You can go forth and be fruitful

You can live the life I always meant for you to live

A life of endless possibilities

Failure is to be expected but take heart

I have overcome the world and in the midst of failure

You will encounter growth

Lessons will be learned and wisdom increased

You are not too late

You are right on time

It's time to believe again

For I will never fail you

And there is more vision where that came from

You have my blood running through your veins

You are the child of a King

Instantly my faith was restored

And I woke up with an eagerness to live out my dream

It was like drinking a glass of cold water

In the middle of the night

And it travels through your body

Filling every crevice

And every place plagued with dryness

With the fullness of all that it is

It's possible
