For Once

For when the world was against you
For when life seemed meaningless
For when you found a ray of hope
For when you fought back with all
I thank God, all those times for!

For an opportunity that passed by
For a faded thought of you
For a string of beads broken
For the love that found you
I thank God, for you!

For that mist across the sky
For that burden looming over the mind
For those stakes put in the game
For no fear that it might bring shame
I thank God, for all the courage borne!

For the desire for power evolving
For the name and fame emerging
For the grip on the world loosening
For 'Sky is the limit' refuting
I thank God, for the craving!
