Taking Stock

TAKING STOCK
Words by Carrie Croteau ©2022

Someday when this life is through 
And you move on to pastures new 
You will have to turn and face your fears 
Going back through all the years 

Every joy and every win
Every hurt and every sin
Everything you took and gave 
From the cradle to the grave 
You will review 

Did you learn what you had planned? 
Did you give a helping hand? 
Were you the kind who'd put others first? 
To help a poor soul quench their thirst?

For everything you made others feel 
You'll finally understand was real 
‘Cause you'll feel it as your own 
You'll finally reap all you've sown 

Every joy and every win
Every hurt and every sin
Everything you took and gave 
From the cradle to the grave 
You will review 

It's true we only judge ourselves 
But we have to face what's on the shelves 
Where we'd put things out of sight 
We'll have to face our own dark night 

When perspective shines its light 
I wonder if you'll still be right?

Every joy and every win
Every hurt and every sin
Everything you took and gave 
From the cradle to the grave 
You will review
