Less like Scars-- Mangine Year in Review

It's been a hard year
But I'm climbing out of the rubble
These lessons are hard
Healing changes are subtle

(January.)

But every day it's
Less like tearing, more like building
Less like captive, more like willing
Less like breakdown, more like surrender
Less like haunting, more like remember

(February.)

And I feel you here
And you're picking up the pieces
Forever faithful
It seemed out of my hands, a bad situation
But you are able

(March.)

And in your hands the pain and hurt
Look less like scars
And more like
Character

(April.)

Less like a prison, more like my room
It's less like a casket, more like a womb
Less like dying, more like transcending
Less like fear, less like an ending

(May.)

And I feel you here

And you're picking up the pieces
Forever faithful

(June.)

It seemed out of my hands, a bad situation
But you are able
And in your hands the pain and hurt
Look less like scars

(July.)

Just a little while ago
I couldn't feel the power or the hope
I couldn't cope,
I couldn't feel a thing

(August.)

Just a little while back
I was desperate,
broken,
laid out,
hoping You would come

(September.)

And I need you
And I want you here
And I feel you

(October.)

And I know you're here
And you're picking up the pieces
Forever faithful
It seemed out of my hands,
a bad, bad situation
But you are able

(November.)

And in your hands
the pain and hurt
Look less like scars
Less like scars
Less like scars...

And more like Character

(December.)

Happy New Year From the Mangine Many!
