lyrics

Times change.
I guess we’ve been going through quite a bit lately.
Holding rose colored umbrellas won’t make it stop raining.
Tryna start a family for years. We pray to God daily.
But all we know is maybe. Next month, maybe…
Maybe… Maybe God has a plan
He put this pen in my hand and knows the man that I am.
I’d give it all that I have, to try to be like my dad,
Who gave me all that he had, even the shirt off his back.
It’s getting harder the longer and farther all of it seems.
Finding faith is a roller coaster, a toll on our dreams.
A couple positives lines, a couple positive weeks,
A couple positive times, but no sign of a heartbeat.
I know so many, so much longer than us
Waiting for maybe to now turn into their turn. Hope it does.
We may miscarry but we carry on the hope that once was.
And know our grief is just nowhere to go with all of our love.

I’m well aware that nothing’s promised.
I’m well aware that parenthood may be the hardest part.
I’m well aware. Trust me. I’m well aware. Yeah.
I’m well aware that I’ve got a lot of life to be lived
And that my purpose on this Earth won’t be solely through my kids.
I’m well aware.

There’s nothing fair about it, and I don’t care if you don’t care about it…
She’d be the greatest mom to do it, there’s no doubt about it.
My faith is newly founded. Although we’ve been without it,
It’s never far from our hearts when we pray about it.
And still, the road ahead is overwhelming.
Overflow of tough decisions, seemingly unending.
Well-intended people doing harm instead of helping.
Desperate for the answers cuz the questions keep us guessing…
What can we do? What can we say?
Where can we go? Who knows a way?
What did they do? What did they pay?
How many disappointing years of maybes did it take?
Cuz at this point, it’s got me feeling like this never
May just be our new forever. And I’m sick of it.
Now more than ever we could use a win.
We could use a win. Yeah. Mind you…

I’m well aware that this is honest.
And that adoption is an option that the heart has gotta want.
I’m well aware. Trust me. I’m well aware. Yeah.
I’m well aware that even if we never get the chance
Our stories will be written and finished by God’s hand.
I’m well aware.

That perspective comes in time.
And what’s meant to be will be.
But for now we’re stuck in maybe.
Who’s to say what’s wrong or right.
I really hope it’s meant to be,
But for now we’re stuck in maybe.

Now we’re stuck in maybe.
Going through it lately.
Praying on the daily.
All we know is maybe.
Holding hope is draining.
Roses don’t stop raining.
What once seemed innately
Now is stuck in maybe
