"Fire and Rain"
As I lie here awake my heart is strong,
I have kept silent way too long.
I can feel every heartbeat as I begin to speak,
My love for you has grown so weak.
The fire of my anger deep within has burned,
In all this time is there nothing I've learned?
Resentment came from the plans you laid,
My desire to follow began to fade.
I expected protection from the hurt I've known,
Instead I felt you had left me alone.
Though I know you so well I pulled away,
Pretending the cost I would not pay.
Can I pick up the pieces of what I've shattered before,
Are you able to make me whole once more?
My eyes are open to what others can't see,
Have you created a pure heart in me?
I love so deep it rips me apart,
I want to build a wall around my heart.
Is there any way to heal this pain?
On my fire you send the rain.
Drench me now in your cleansing flood,
Don't let me sink in the middle of this mud.
Bring a fresh fire that only you can give,
So this life for only you I will live.
Through my sorrow it's hard to trust again,
Give me passion and strength so this battle I can win.
Restore what was stolen so I can stand and fight,
Let it seem day in the middle of the night.
