For Now I Smile Inside

I asked "what is there to hope for"
"how will things ever be right"
Little did I know
My feeble cry was heard that night

It came upon me softly
Like a soothing breeze
Little by little it became clear
This future was for me

But for now I can't yet have it
Though I see it within reach
Guess I have more yet to learn
Guess He has more to teach

Would it have been easier
To not see the future fully realized
If I remained ignorant to what I'm missing
If I couldn't see the prize

No, He knows my heart
I needed a fresh new breath
Of a life that was to come
To save me from the depths

So for now I smile inside
And keep my mind focused on the goal
For it will be here before long
A new life that I will know
