I am strong
my mind is bold
I will become
what my heart beats
what is mine
to
behold.

You heard me
I know you heard me
but
didn’t say a thing
to save my day
my life
Your eyes didn’t smile
nor
did you take me
in your arms
telling me, saying words
to stop the tears
the cries
You walked away
your back to me
like
you didn’t hear
hear me cry
But
I know you heard me
I know
you heard me cry.

Lonely
I may be
Happy
I will be
When I see you dancing
all around
me
Your voice will sing
a song
of ecstasy
Your heart will comply with beats
I feel inside
me
Your feet, your feet
will move
in such a happy way
Your eyes will see
me
no longer sad
nor lonely
Only filled
with the deepest love
now
that you’re here
you’re holding
me.

I feel
your gentleness, your courtesy
I feel your love
enveloping
me
I need your strength
wrapped around me
I need to know
you’re behind, backing
me
For you see
I’m in a awful place
can’t see
a way out
no saving grace
Still I hope with you
beside me
with everything in place
I’ll be okay
you’ll hold me in your heart
you’ll be
my saving grace.
