I can’t promise anything
But only give the gift of hope
With a yearning heart to give
And a soul made to understand
I stare bleakly into the horizon
At your always lingering hand
I’m scared now as I question
Why I’ve waited for so long
But I’m dying to know what waits
Beyond the guilt and fear I own
There has to be freedom somewhere
Beyond this granite wall I’ve made
There has to be solace somewhere
For I ache to see the end of fear
Stepping forward now I want to begin
To seek what so few will ever find
I’m tired of being broken
I’m tired of being stone cold
Teach me love,
Though I fear it
Teach me to feel,
Through this heart of stone
I’m scared of what may follow
That I may be hurt or broken more
But inside I know that if I don’t
Follow my heart this time
I’ll have hurt myself even worse
Than the scars that love may bring
