I'm All In

It was so easy when I was young My fingers slipped over keys and told stories of songs That were still unsung I wrapped my heart in each word from you You were the light in the tunnel That led to the path I was headed to But time will make you forget all your "meant to be's" Living your life by what the outside sees And I've been gone for so long So I'm letting you know I'm letting you see Just what's become of the woman you helped me to be And I'm running my race My face to the wind Circling back to the place where you helped me begin And this time, I'm all in I thought my heart and my soul were gone As though you left me alone with no rhyme And no reason to carry on So I got lost in the maddening crowd And through the chaos around me My heart was still longing to sing out loud And all the scenes in my life They came back to me All stitched together like a tapestry And I've been gone for so long And so I'm letting you know I'm letting you see Just what's become of the woman you helped me to be And I'm running my race My face to the wind Circling back to the place where you helped me begin And this time, I'm all in And this time I'm all in
