Stepping Slow and Cautiously
Its amazing just how much
Time can change and really touch
Your life turning it around
Changing shaky un-solid ground
Of a path you were taking
That was crumbling and breaking
With cracks and holes of bad fear
Following you everywhere
Each step more highly dangerous
Tiptoeing, being very cautious
That the next one wont explode
Bearing a bad heavy load
With little pieces of your past
Into a future that will grasp
Each one with a mighty vengeance
Destroying any hope or chance
Your steps will not lead into
More nightmares you cant get through
You close your eyes and move ahead
Wait for badness, but instead
A hand takes yours tenderly
Gently saying you are free
No more times of pain or sorrow
I'll make sure that each tomorrow
And step your taking from here on
Will slowly make the past be gone
Bad dreams will soon disappear
Your futures looking very clear
Believe me, accept my help
Because I've been there myself
