2 years

I know you've heard the stories
But they all sound too good to be true
You've heard about a place called home
but they're doesn't seem to be one for you
So one more night you cry yourself to sleep
and drift off to a distant dream
When love takes you in
and everything changes
a miracle starts with the beat of a heart
when love takes you home
and says you belong here
the loneliness ends and a new life begins
when love takes you in
and somewhere while you're sleeping
someone else is dreaming too
and counting down the days until
they hold you close and say 'I love you'
and like the rain that falls into the sea
in a moment what has been will be lost in what will be
when love takes you in
Everything changes
a miracle starts
with the beat of a heart
and this love will never let you go
there is nothing that could ever cause this lose it's hold.
when love takes you in
everything changes
a miracle starts with the beat of a heart
when love takes you home
and says you belong here
the loneliness ends
and a new life begins
when love takes you in
it takes you in for good
when love takes you in

They loved us before they met us
They welcomed us in instantly - no questions asked

Everyone said two years will go by fast enough
Everyone said see you in two years
Everyone said when the time comes you leave you won't want to
Two years
No one really believed it. No one that is, except 3 innocent girls...
2 years, then you can go home
that's what we clung to
then...
We were:
wanted
needed
loved
...and '2 years' faded away to 'until God calls us elsewhere'
2 years have gone so quickly
I won't see you...yet
The time never came, I don't want it to
Who knows what will happen in the next 2 years....

I am...
appriciated
loved
wanted
needed
