As time goes on and the days pass by,
I continue to grow, I continue to rise.
When I see my reflection as I look in my eyes,
I see a miracle that's bound for the skies.
Like a home cooked meal I am fully nourished,
Like a brand new apartment, I've been fully furnished.
I am complete, I've been made fully whole,
I'm able to stand up, tall and bold.

Right now I'm single, which isn't so bad,
till the world tries to say that I'm pitiful and sad,
For not being married or dating a friend,
For not being engaged or in sexual sin.
For not sleeping around with men here and there,
For not cheating on men and not even care.

Right now I'm single, and that's perfectly fine,
till the world tries to say I'm out of my mind.
For not being a playgirl (for I possibly could),
For not being corrupt in my singlehood.
For not fooling around like many women do,
For not having sex or at least trying to.

Right now I'm single, living under one roof,
til the world makes me feel I'm missing out on my youth
For not having something to do every night,
For making me feel that I have no life.

It's during these times, that I look in my eyes,
And question God, if I'm living a lie.
Is being single, really that bad?
Can you live as a single, and not be sad?
Have I messed up my life, by being alone?
Can life still be good, if no mate comes along?

Should I throw in the towel, in disgust and defeat?
Just go on and settle, for whoever I meet?
Is my standard of equally yoked too high?
Is it too much to ask, should I put that aside?
If I'm by myself, does that mean something's wrong?
Can I sing a solo, for part of my song?
Should I feel bad, about who I am?
If the world tries to say, I'm an incomplete woman.
Can the world really do that?
What gives it the right?
To see me and say I live a pathetic life!

For not having that special significant other,
For having lots of friends but having no lover.
If I never do find the right one for me,
That doesn't mean I'm headed for a life that's empty.

From the world's point of view I must not be led,
It should never replace what God has said.
I can't let the world define me as a woman,
On Christ the solid rock I've got to stand.

Right now I'm single which is fine with me,
Cause I think for now God wants me to be.
And until I meet my lifelong mate,
I'll be content and learn to wait.

So if you're by yourself, hold your head up high,
Your a miracle that's bound for the skies.

Until I meet my husband to be,
I'll ignore the world's opinion of me.
Being single is a gift from God above.
It's while I'm single, I should learn to love.
So when I meet that perfect one,
I'll know the right time has finally come.
Not due to a lifestyle of perverted mingle,
But that I'm trying to do right today while I'm single.
