Was
it a dream? Im not really sure. I can still hear the
sound of the opening door. Seems like a nightmare, from
so long ago. Learning some things I was too young to know.
Alone in the darkness and scared half to death, Praying
to God and holding my breath. If he thinks Im asleep,
he might go away
Eight
or nine or ten years old / Just yesterday, it seems / A
monster came into my room and stole away my dreams /
Too young to know I had a choice, too numb to even scream
/ His breath was hot against my skin / It smelled of
bitter spice / The darkness made his face a mask, his
hands were cold as ice / I felt my heart was closing
down and my soul would pay the price / I held on through
the darkness, waiting for the light / I held on to the
hope that I would be alright / I knew I had to find the
strength to make it to the day / I held my breath until
I heard his footsteps fade away / The monster didnt go away / He haunted me for years
/ I kept our little secret hidden with my fears / I vowed
that I would never show any weakness or any tears / I held
on through the darkness, waiting for the light / I held
on to the hope that I would be alright / I knew I had to
find the strength to make it to the day / I held my breath
until I heard his footsteps fade away / Then one day I met
someone who fell in love with me / The me that I had hidden,
that no one else could see / That love gave me the power
to set the monster free / I no longer fear the darkness,
each day is filled with light / My hope is now my truth,
that everythings alright / I know now that I have
the strength to make it all the way / I breathe life deep
into my soul and know Im home to stay. |
