The Voice

There is a well of sadness That’s hidden deep inside A well of pain and bitter hurt For many years denied The child within cries alone For one who does not hear The child within has no one Does anybody care? She cries but no one listens Again she cries alone There is no one to comfort Do they have hearts of stone? She builds a wall around her To hide from all the pain People have to learn her trust Is not so easy to attain

Beyond the mask Our greatest fears Beyond the mask Flows uncried tears Beyond the mask Much pain and hurt The brokenness of a human heart. Beyond the mask Too deep to measure The thoughts and memories buried there No amount of pleasure can repair. Beyond the mask Bitterness and anger are strongly rooted Is there a love that can ever uproot this? Beyond the mask Dare we journey there? But the constant hate and turmoil who alone can bear? Beyond the mask That lonely place where no-one seems to care or love us. Yes, it’s such unpleasant ground, Yet it’s in this very same place that healing is found Beyond the mask Go deep,deep, deep beyond. God will you give the courage and strength to journey on. Beyond the mask Reality, truth and those inward parts the years so well conceal. Take off the mask, Begin to peel … How beautiful – when you are revealed!

Gaps in the graphics, Always knew they were there, But stuff I saw made me More reluctant to share It was fresh, it was new, Never been there before, And the scary specifics Made me feel like a whore I know if I trust You I’ll come out the other side, With more freedom than ever, Nothing to prove, lose, or hide. Gaps in the graphics, Want them to stay as they are Then once and forever, That ship can sail  afar.
