This Time 'Round - Darrell Scott

This time 'round I’ll be like water

I have learned to let it flow

There is no need to dam me

I will go where I must go

And I’ll drop this suit of armor

And put away my thorny crown

Gonna lay my heart wide open

This time 'round

This time 'round I’ll be a giver

I have saved me long enough

I will dig down to the bottom

And I’ll fill me right back up

And I’ll end this search for savior

I’ll be a lost without a found

A pilgrim on life’s highway

This time ‘round

Every time I play the game of love I play to win

And it always breaks me open

And I try to fly but fall and crash and burn

That’s how I learn

This time 'round I’ll be forgiving

I have harmed myself too long

I will speak the words of healing

And it will fill my heart with song

And I’ll sing this song with others

Who were born to make the sound

A ragged choir of angels

This time 'round

As I sail out on the ocean

And I look back on the shore

I can see the sweet perfection

Of the ones I’ve loved before

In each face I see the lesson

That has brought me here and now

They will all give me their blessing this time 'round

Oh every time we play the game of love we play to win

And it always breaks us open

And we try to fly but fall and crash and burn

That’s how we learn to love again

This time 'round
