I've tried my whole life to obey
I believe I've succeeded in living up to your standards,
But this one thing I must confess:
I cannot lay these dreams to rest.
You love me and
I know you know my love for you is true.
Then, will you try to understand,
Why I must move on to new lands?
If I could stay here with you and all my family and my friends,
You know I would but,
I've been called to something more,
I cannot even fathom what's in store.
I've been praying hard and trusting God,
Still His call remains a passion in my heart,
To make a difference in the lives of others
And to those who have none, be a mother.
I only know that I must go,
Must leave you here for a time, I hope that
Maybe one day I'll be able to return,
Until then, believe me when I tell you, for you my heart will yearn.
I'll always be your little girl,
No matter how far away from you this life takes me.
I promise you I'll be faithful to God's will and pray for you daily.
Just promise me, though your heart is breaking,
And in spite of these dreams,
You'll think of me every day;
That you'll still love me anyway.
