I'd Never...

I'd never dreamed of the problems I'd face,
So they took me by surprise.
I'd never seen how cruel the world is,
So I got shut out.
I'd never learned about life,
So I'm taking it day by day.
I'd never really lived before
And now I'm starting to realize my dream.

I'd never known a sweeter soul
Until I saw your somber eyes.
I'd never seen a solemn moment
Until death took someone close.
I'd never slept so sweetly
Until I felt safe with you by my side.
I'd never felt so free
Until I knew God and his angels.

I'd never been at peace
Until I saw war.
I'd never have known
Life wasn't fair.
I'd never have reached for the sky.
But you made me see I was special.
Now that I know you,
My life has become perfect.
