Second Guess Girl

Is it time for a speech or for silence

Are you calling for peace or defiance

Is this darkening counsel or wisdom

Are we all perpetrators or victims?

Is this childlike simple rote history

Is it complex deciphering mystery

Is this blessing or ill gotten wealth

Am I speaking for God or myself?

It’s a hard world for a second guess girl

With one hand and another

I try to take it in but it leaves me spinning

Trying to love my sister and brother

Is this confidence born of a calling

Is this ego and pride before falling

Are we standing to fight for what’s right

Are we angry and hopelessly blind?

Are we companions of Job or prophets of God

Are we not of this world or just painfully odd

Is it time for free grace or tough love

Or a little of all the above?

It’s a hard world for a second guess girl

On one hand and another

I try to take it in and it leaves me spinning

Trying to love my sister and brother

Sooner or later we’ll know more about it

Sooner or later we’ll understand why

We’ll understand why

It’s a hard world for a second guess girl

With one hand and another

I try to take it in but it leaves me spinning

Trying to love my sister and brother

It’s a hard world for a second guess girl

With one hand and another

I try to take it in and it leaves me spinning

Trying to love my sister and brother

It’s a hard hard world for a second guess girl

Trying to love my sister, love my brother
