wherever you go, i will follow
wherever you live is my home
though days be of blessing or sorrow
though house be of canvas or stone

okay, kelly, pull it together.
breathe.
they didn't hire you to cry, they hired you to sing.
so sing.

like abram and sarah we stand
with only a promise in hand.
so lead where you dream, i will follow
to dream with you is my delight.

don't think about it, don't think.
wait, yeah, think. think about the white sox.
baseball.
work.
funerals.
just don't think.

wherever you die, i will be there
to sing you to sleep with a psalm
to sooth you with tales of our journey
your fears and your doubts i will calm.
we'll live when journeys are done
forever in mem'ry as one.
and we will be buried together,
and waken to greet a new dawn.

i don't think i can do much more.
pull through, you have to.
you can.

wherever you go i will follow
behold! the horizon shines clear
the possible gleams like a city
together we've nothing to fear!
so speak with words bold and true
the message my heart speaks to you,
you won't be alone, i have promised
wherever you go, i'll be there.

pause.
i did it.





"kelly, that was great, but it was a little bit like . . . "
"like what?"
"well, like you were just saying words. like you weren't really thinking about it or something. i think it could be really beautiful if you just go with what moves you."

*sigh*

umm note to self, don't sing weddings one month before your own. just don't do it.
