Rain
When all my pain to rest was laidThe tears had dried, the changes madeAnd peace I found in lonelinessAs gentle, caring emptiness
Old rituals gone, the past deniedTo grave be laid the tears I criedAnd find the strength to feel and seeThe fate that lies ahead of me
The time has come to turn the tideTo break the bonds that years have tiedA time of change - A time of gainTo clean the soul with healing rain
Betrayal, lie, dishonestyOf those who had surrounded meFilled the emptiness insideAnd took my honor, and my pride
And as my tongue spoke foreign wordsAnd my hands did work, not mineI stepped away from my own selfA puppet made by their design
I felt I had to clean their tracesCrush their words, erase their facesKill their presence deep in meTo open my eyes to see
The time has come to turn the tideTo break the bonds that years have tiedA time of change - a time of gainTo clean the soul with healing rain
