Story Behind the Song
Why do we always think that we have the right timing for things that happen in the mortal world? God's timing is always perfect!
Lyrics
Verse 1:
I was dead before I started out this trip, like any other time, clinched fist. I kick my legs from underneath my self, and try to run away. But in the midst of my frenzy, I hear your gentle words, ripping at my soul, Pointing out the things I hold so tight. How can I love you when you're last in line? Crying don't you see the life I've poured, poured out for your heart.
Chorus:
It's good to know when to say goodbye
It's hard to do, and too often I ask why.
It's good to know when to say goodbye
My timing is off, but yours is fine.
Verse 2:
A simple greeting, you're lucky if you catch my eye. Attention floating off until you kindly rap me on the head and I run into the cover of your arms. Then I sing my praise again, and foolishly put faith in what I think I did with my own hands. Until I look for love but only find, the shadow of your wings I left behind. Why can't I see the life that you have poured, poured out for my heart?
