I know this is the beginning of something big
I know this is the beginning of something big
Something so big to do with the light
I just have to listen; be there & listen
Listen to my child, my angel of night
My angel of night; she’s always been silent
My angel of night; she never cried
My angel of night; who’s been scared forever
It’s never been safe for her outside
I will protect myself from others
Others who laugh when somebody cries
From people who can’t see the needs of another
People’s whose heart inside them has died
I’m coming home; home to another
One who knows about heartbreak and pain
I’ll give up the old who impresses others
Who covers up the hurt and the shame
Soon we will sleep, sleep with each other
Terror and fear will be a thing of the past
I’ll do my best to keep our lives simple
Peace and contentment I hope it will last
I have a hard time trusting others
I have a hard time trusting myself
The best thing I can do for me is
To put myself above all else
All of my body, mind and spirit needs a holiday and a rest
Maybe that’s my first big test
Whether I can give it a rest
Treat myself to the very best.
