Kiara

I’ve been staring out the window, watching time just roll on by

Got a heavy kind of quiet sitting right behind my eyes

I whisper to the mirror, "Kiara, where'd you go?"

'Cause I don't know how to feel anymore, and I just need to know

I’ve got a mind that’s always thinking, got a heart that cares so deep

But lately I’ve been losing touch with the promises I keep

But then I think of South Dakota, riding shotgun with my dad

The open sky, the winding roads, the simple joy we had

And I feel my husband's arms around me, pulling me in tight

When the world gets kind of heavy and the days blur in the night

If I don't know how to feel, or who I'm supposed to be

That love becomes the highway leading right back home to me

I’m usually the one with all the answers, figuring out the plan

I can crack a joke and make 'em smile when no one else quite can

I pour my soul into the people that I love along the way

But sometimes the giver runs on empty at the ending of the day

I let the numbness settle in, I let the shadows fall

Until I look at what I have, reminding me of it all

And then I think of South Dakota, riding shotgun with my dad

The open sky, the winding roads, the simple joy we had

And I feel my husband's arms around me, pulling me in tight

When the world gets kind of heavy and the days blur in the night

If I don't know how to feel, or who I'm supposed to be

That love becomes the highway leading right back home to me

It’s alright to lose the compass, it’s okay to need a rest

Even when you’re strong and caring, put up to the test

I’m still Kiara, I’m still standing, I'm just waiting on the dawn

Leaning on the beautiful and true to help me carry on

So I’ll think of South Dakota, riding shotgun with my dad

The open sky, the winding roads, the simple joy we had

And I'll feel my husband's arms around me, pulling me in tight

When the world gets kind of heavy and the days blur in the night

No, I might not know exactly how I'm feeling in this space

But I know I'm surrounded by the warmth of saving grace

Yeah, that love is just a highway leading right back home to me
