so i'm opening my eyes just a little bit more

just trying to find out what's in store

for a girl like me, for a girl like you

simply dying and trying to figure out the truth

-

the answers come hard, they come fast

but will these be the ones to finally last?

i'm tired of truth with an expiration date

i'm sick of putting my trust in fickle fate

-

it's hard to breathe with lies everywhere

they clog the streets and poison the air

suffocation by apathy is more and more common

it's so easy to give up, to just be downtrodden

-

in the midst of all this dispisable pride

i cry out, to see truth buried beneath the lies

and as dawn breaks, i give up on my hopeless prayer

but suddenly there's a voice, and Somebody's there

-

"oh daughter of Mine, the daughter of a King,

where is the heart I gave you? why aren't you fighting?

I know you desire the truth above all things,

I know, because I created you that way

-

I made you the way you are meant to be;

I put within you your passions, don't you see?

and I will fulfill you in every way, and all you must do

is trust in Me, open to Me, and let My light shine through"

-

doubt crept through my heart like a snake

do i dare trust this treachery? but it might be an escape!

i battled with myself, in chaos for days

before i decided to choose the way

-

it's a hard road, full of bumps and rocks

sometimes i wonder if i can carry on

but then i look at the Man holding my hand

and i know that i could never abandon

Him
