I stand up
I stand up
I walk to the door
no one is here
I'm on my own
I know this place
I've been here before
just a few steps
and the fear will be gone...
I stand up
I cannot cry
no one will come
to give me a ride
I have to be brave
I have to reconcile
with the loneliness
I felt in old times...
I stand up
I'm a woman today
the child is in the past
and I'm here to stay
where should I go?
I have to face
the fact that I can't
run away.
