Who You Are Again

February 15, 2012


Fate lent its hand in our story
 we both have so much to tell
as old circumstances were ending
new convictions remove the veil 
so  intense nevertheless rewarding
when you came into my life
I preferred the opportunity to show you 
My affections not based on terms nor a lie   
you  now experience anguish  and its my burden 

while I  tried to be that flickering  light 
 please stop all the anxiety and tears 
Walk tall there's nothing left to fear  
You’re free without coercion of reconciliation 
this pain will ease as time fades within the years 
Take back  freedom the power to live
Beware some days will  still be uphill
But  baby hold your head high
cause something inside won't be denied 
as you Discover who you are again 
please recall me as a friend 
it's time to end the grief
our passion was out of desperate  need 
to feel alive and on fire
to know we matter to someone for awhile
 
take back the freedom the power to live
beware some days will still be uphill
but baby hold your head high
cause something inside can't be denied 
as you discover who you are again 
please recall me as a friend
