Journey From Darkness

Travel with me through time and see what I see
      Scars from the earth and endless tragedy
      Hold my hand through these dark days and nights
      And brush away my fears as I try to take flight

      Please understand the different paths I have chosen
      And shine your light on my soul as I remain frozen
      I am so fearful but no longer want to be afraid
      I am so lonely but I am not ready to be brave

      I lay here in my cocoon of fear praying for more 
      Trying to break free and waiting for wings to soar
      Colors are swirling around me, waiting for me to partake
      In a life that I used to know but this cocoon I cannot shake

      What led me to the darkness I will never know
      But it is a battle I must fight, a nameless foe
      So please look deep inside the darkness of my eyes
      And help me find my wings so I may fly
