If you could see inside this pain I must endure alone

Perhaps you'd understand

This path I walk is not my own

If I could hide your eyes my foolish pride would not be known

Perhaps I'd realize your love inside

Lights my way home

I'm coming out of a dark place searching for a trace of life

Through the mist this windswept hillside

But a sign of life I cannot find

No one here to guide me to unravel the questions within

Not a candle burns to light my way

Nor a soul to behold where I've been

Help me to see the future

The past is clear this much I know

Unknown perils that lay before me

Deliver me the path that I must go

The dark place along the hillside a fortress of trees and earth

The leaves would cover my innocence the ground support the guilt I hide

The deep wood in which I dwelled a short time though long it seems

Sheltered me in its warm embracce unjudging eyes

My spirit cried

Blind me to doublts that creep in

The fear that leaves my senses low

Remind me the path I have chosen

Render me the strength that I might grow

I'm looking back to the dark place

A place where I felt safe

At least within my ow mind the shadows warm embrace

The haven in which I dwelled

Protected me from the storm

War cry the hills shook from the sound

I stood upon the high ground

I cried...
