I’ve waited so long for you to hear me
Hear me tell you what is wrong
I needed someone to hold me and rock me
And when I was hurt to sing me a song
I was hurt over and over
I am weeping deep inside
I need someone to give me flowers
I need someone who won’t hide
From the truth that needs to be spoken
Someone who’ll put me first in their life
I need more than the words that are spoken
I need someone to hold me tight
Why can’t I cry out the pain in my head
I’m no longer hiding under my bed
I’ve raised the covers and seen the light
I want to claim it, it is my right.
Keep hanging on, it won’t always be this rough
It can be easy,, it doesn’t have to be tough
I have a lot of people pulling for me
Soon if we stay together, we will all see
We’re not alone, We are crying
It’s ok to cry
We’ll never be alone again
I am keeping up and slowing down
and coming to terms again
With all the hell and horror we’ve been in
We’re not alone, We have one another.
