Katie-Lynn, you've always lived your life out loud  You know that's something I have always loved you for  Katie-Lynn, this one has brought you to the ground  Katie-Lynn, we all feel we've let you down  Katie-Lynn, I am unsure of what to say  'Cause you and I both know it's been too long  Katie-Lynn, it finally came to me today  Katie-Lynn, I didn't take the time to pray  So all the words you heard were bouncing  Bouncing off of you  And all the lines drawn in to save you  Were just getting in the way of love  And did you ever believe what we were saying?  And can I blame you?  'Cause how transparent was I, were you looking at me?  Katie-Lynn, you've always had those dancing gypsy eyes  And a spirit that longed to try it's wings  Petite ouseau, you flew into a clouded sky  How could you see your good intentions wouldn't get you by  But you could rise upon the wings of the eagles  If you would only choose to leave the empty way you live  Could you see, could you see you don't have to prove yourself to me  Let it go, let your pain finally slide off your back  Down at His feet  'Cause all the love He shows is just bouncing  And all the hands we're reaching out are just getting in the way  And if it's gonna take more to hold you  To show you're loved in spite of you  Well, how transparent am I when you're looking at me?  So you can see I know you've chosen your own way  And it's hard but it's the road you've travelled on  And I pray my life more than these words  Will clearly say that Jesus loves you  He's loved you all along
