Woven In Secret
It was a tangled web they spun
their silken threads hid the truth
Weaving dark clouds to cover the sun
Preying on the innocence of her youth
It was a secret kept too long
They fed the fire with their lies
And muted the beauty of her song
The truth would surely shock and surprise
Then one day someone spilled the beans;
She found out she was an adopted child...
Finally the light was seen
The truth, untamed, was running wild
She could not hold back the tears
It came pouring out after all those years.
