As a Child
As a child
been looking for the love’ n
As a child
been looking for the touch ‘n
As a child
been looking for that feel ‘n
As a child
been needing to feel supported
As a child
been needing to feel protected
As a child
Was taught to feel afraid
As a child
Has been shelter and ignored
As a child
I could see the stress within my mother’s eyes
As a child
I was never taught that love comes from within
As a child
I was taught distress and now my body cries
As a child
I hid in my mind I opened a door and protected my life
As a child
I was young and frail but I was guided within too.
As a child
I have always seen a very bright light and I knew.
As a child
The pain I went through but the person I have become
The Man
Is someone New
