The Woman I Meant To Be (from Gracie Vandiver & Friends)
THE WOMAN I MEANT TO BE written by Gracie Hollombe Vandiver & David Rivers LIKE A RIVER ON A ROCK THAT CUTS A CANYON WIDE AND DEEP YOU OPENED UP MY SOUL BY WASHING OVER ME GIVING ME A SECOND CHANCE AT LIFE TO UNCOVER FROM THE PAST ALL THE THINGS I TRIED TO HIDE AND I FEEL LIKE I'VE BEEN SET FREE TO BE THE WOMAN I MEANT TO BE
I NEVER MEANT TO LEAVE BROKEN HEARTS SCATTERED ON THE PATH OF THOSE WHO TRIED TO LOVE ME WHEN I COULDN'T LOVE THEM BACK FROM THE BOTTOM OF A BOTTLE IT'S SO HARD TO SEE THE LIGHT BUT NOW I'M TAKING STEPS TO MAKE SOME WRONG THINGS RIGHT IF I CAN DO THIS I CAN DO ANYTHING AND BE THE WOMAN I MEANT TO BE
BRIDGE I KNOW IT'S GONNA TAKE SOME TIME TO EARN BACK THE TRUST FROM THE CHOICES THAT I MADE WHEN THAT WAS WHO I WAS
WELL YOU CAN'T PUSH A RIVER WHERE IT DOESN'T WANT TO GO SO YOU LED ME TO A PLACE I'VE NEVER BEEN BEFORE AND I NEVER WOULD HAVE GONE THERE ALONE I'M GLAD I SURRENDERED CAUSE NOW I'M FINALLY HOME I PRAY THAT ONE DAY WHEN YOU LOOK AT ME ALL YOU SEE - IS THE WOMAN I MEANT TO BE.
