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
