From Me To You

"From Me To You" 

by Janis Ian

I'm leaving by night, I'm leaving alone

I'm leaving it lie, when you waken I'll be gone

I would not beg for me, as I would not beg for you.

Though I'd like to be the one to see you through.


Every step you have taken disappears with the tide.

You're torn up and shaken with changing your mind.

You haven't got the grace to say you finally decide.

And you haven't got the strength to stay to fight.


Those people who surround you only want to see you weak enough to crawl.

They'll lie for you decide for you and buy up all your rights and all your wrongs.

And they'll try to stop your singing in the middle of your song.

For they do not want you free, and they will not make you strong.

They'll only drag you down in the hole they're coming from.


They say you are foolish in wanting the sun.

Say you are selfish in learning to run.

Tell you that the darkness is a blessing in disguise,

For you never have to notice if you're sighted or you're blind.

And they'll do their best to keep you from the light.


You're more than beginning, you're learning to fly.

Feel like you're falling, but it passes in time.

I hate to see a friend go down in flames without a song,

So I'm waiting by the doorway, but I will not linger long.


And I'm leaving by night, I'm leaving alone.

I'm leaving it lie, when you waken I'll be gone.

I would not beg for me, as I could not beg for you.

But I'd like to be the one to see you through.

"We know that in everything God works for good with those who love Him, who are called according to His purpose.  For whose whom He foreknew, He also predestined to be conformed to the image of His Son, in order that He might be the first born among many brethren.  And those whom He predestined He also called;   and those whom He called He also justified;  and those whom He justified, He also glorified."

Romans 8:28 - 30
