    Lyrics:
    I remember way back
    When I felt only ennui
    Like nothing could complete me
    No promise of a rising sun
    Illuminating everyone
    The very thought defeating
    But man alive what a blinding light
    It must be what it's like when worlds collide
    Especially when he sees her
    Pretty soon he'll tease her
    I was on the road so long
    My laboured love bore only song
    And not one of them a keeper
    But if I woke in the morning to find you were gone
    I know I'd try to find the will to be strong
    But am I strong enough
    I once built a bower
    I could build you a home
    Together forever
    But forever anon is still not long enough
    The look of fear was in your eyes
    But I could see myself as a child
    Such a devastating feeling
    How I wished I could go back in time
    But all I could do was apologize
    Right then your eyes were healing
    Healing
    Oh I have been Cain
    But I wanna be able
    Been a drunken fool
    But I wanted to be stable
    Enough to lay every one of my cards out on the table
    I hope it's not too late for us to find a way through

    I remember way back when
    I felt only yon wee
    Like nothing could complete me
    No promise of a rising sun
    Illuminating everyone
    The very thought defeated
    My life was a blinded light
    Must be what it's like when worlds collide
    Especially when he sees her
    Pretty soon he'll tease her
    I was on the road too long
    My laboured lover only song
    Not one of them a keeper
    But if I woke in the morning to find you were gone
    I know I'd try and find the will to be strong
    But am I strong enough? Am I strong enough?
    I once built a tower, I could build you a home
    Together forever but forever and on
    Is still not long enough, still not long enough
    You look confused in your eyes
    And I could see myself as a child
    Such a devastating feeling
    I wished I could go back in time
    But all I could do was apologize
    Right then your eyes were healing
    Healing
    Oh, if I woke in the morning to find you were gone
    I know I'd try and find the will to be strong
    But am I strong enough? Am I strong enough?
    I once built a tower, I could build you a home
    Together forever but forever and on
    Is still not long enough, still not long enough
    Oh, I've been Cain but I wanna be Abel
    Been a drunken fool but I wanted to be stable enough
    To lay every one of my cards on the table
    Hope it's not too late for us to find a way to
    If I woke in the morning to find you were gone
    I know I'd try and find the will to be strong
    But am I strong enough? Am I strong enough?
    I once built a tower, I could build you a home
    Together forever but forever and on
    Is still not long enough, it's still not long enough
    I will look, get inside myself for a home
    Find only a sapling in search of an oak
    Better to start my love, oh it's a start my love
    But am I strong enough?

      And not one of them could keep her*
      I once built a burrow, I could be you a home*
      The look of fear was in your eyes,
      And I could see myself as a child*
      I went looking inside of myself for a hope,
      Found only a Sapling in search of an oak, but it’s a start, my love*

    I left my partner of 30 years, and wife of 20 one year ago this very week. I was defeated. I am still defeated. This song gave me hope that love does not die with the passing of one relationship, that I can be strong enough to build anew. To be the sapling once again. And to be someone's oak.

    Paul was a faithful follower of Jesus Christ. When he prayed to be released from his weakness, he received this answer: “My grace is sufficient for you, for My strength is made perfect in weakness.” 2 Corinthians 12:7-10.
    Everyone who is born of flesh and blood is weak, but not everyone is aware of his weakness, for they are not God-fearing. The weak person who sees the danger flees, but the strong person has exalted thoughts about himself. He does not cry out for help. It was by God’s grace that Jesus could overcome and be a spotless Lamb who could taste death for us all. (Hebrews 2:9-10) It was because of Paul’s weakness that God’s grace could be sufficient and God’s strength was perfected in him. Paul says, “But by the grace of God I am what I am …” 1 Corinthians 15:10.
