Pain

where has this journey taken thee
were the flame flickered  to take me
to a place were others would see
pain 

oh pain
you have healed the need
why the pulling prepared to be
seen by all to discover me

ask questions of why
did it take so long
resistant of pain was the final song
yet all of the performance on this stage

helped me healed me from rage
who am I today
let me say
to make sense

what I give freely
will help to make sense
tears dried up 
must I take a bow

must I share everything of when and how

I've gone through
pain
oh pain
helped me grow

even flew
soaring broken wing
invisible ghost

a wound yet opened
pain

oh pain 
you came to me
you were the antidote
that I need
