Identity Theft

And if I felt it freeze my soul I know I've finally lost control And if it spoke to me in vain I know I let it steal my Name And if I take before I give I know it claimed my right to live And if I sought to make it real I know the hurt could never heal A dream of hate is still a dream No matter how real it may seem Because I try my best to love I hope to join my Self above Because I'm desperate for a Friend I hope someday to make amends Because I cry from loneliness I hope I can escape from this Because I give before I take I hope He'll gently let me wake A dream of love is still a dream No matter how real it may seem

Lovely, and deeper than what appears on the surface. Have you seen the movie "Jacob's Ladder"? It's a cult classic. I think you might enjoy it. *****Danielle******
