India Catch Up

Our wifi in India was really limited the past few days so I'm sharing these pictures from the weekend. So grateful for these amazing people who have changed us.

I saw what I saw and I can't forget it
I heard what I heard and I can't go back

I know what I know and I can't deny it

Something on the road, cut me to the soul

Your pain has changed me

your dreams inspire

your face a memory

your hope a fire

your courage asks me what I'm afraid of

(what I am made of)

and what I know of love

we've done what we've done and we can't erase it

we are what we are and it's more than enough

we have what we have but it's no substitution

Something on the road, touched my very soul

I say what I say with no hesitation

I have what I have and I'm giving it up

I do what I do with deep conviction

Something on the road, changed my world
