“Through this world I’ve stumbled So many times betrayed Trying to find an honest word To find the truth enslaved Oh you speak to me in riddles and You speak to me in rhymes My body aches to breathe your breath You words keep me alive” I know these feeling, I’ve lived them well In a world WHERE I could never tell, I was once captured, they held me down For many years I thought I’d never be found Betrayal birthed roots that PRODUCED bad fruit Denial hid behind smiles that bread life trials But a burning hope, and flickering light Lived inside, I just needed it to ignite Perfect love, the only cure To give me new wings and make me sore I now can be still in words that are true Unraveled deception, a restful view Your words are serene, killing off the machine I am embracing a life that I’ve never seen. Sarah Mclachlan - Possession lyrics
