How can we trust love, and be sure it will last?
We gave our hearts to others, many times in the past.
We shed many tears, and built many fears.
And now we're afraid to let our hearts go.
Because of the pain we've come to know.
But if we are to love again, we have to take the chance.
And trust our hearts, our only guide, to find that true Romance.
So if we hide the Rose from the light, we'll never see it grow.
But if we plant it in the sun, we know the Rose will glow.
So tear down the Iron Gate you built so high and open up the door.
The love you find may be the kind, that you've been searching for.
We know that deep within there is a special part.
And we know for love to live, there has to be a spark.
And when that spark, grows to a flame.
The heart we gave is never the same.
The days begin and end with songs.
And to that newfound love your heart belongs.
You walk on clouds of fluffy white.
Knowing and trusting that your heart is right.
The Rose will glow and love will grow.
And make a spectacular sight.
For all that see the Rose, will see the petals bright.

Numb
I know I must have hurt you
But I didn't think I had
My mind was numb
My heart was hurt
What could I do but run.
I open up out to the world
For them to break and tear
This hollow shell
My empty being
I've never been so scared.
Why do you judge my worthless soul
Why must you scream at all
I cannot bear
This heavy load
I can't stop me when I fall.
The tears I've hid inside myself
Pour from my eyes with pain
I do not feel
I cannot call
It's yelling out my name.
An emptiness so overrun
I have nothing left to lose
When all we are
And all we've done
Is breaking me in two.
A peace inside that only comes
Once you have been alone
To live and learn
And become nothing
Mistakes are overthrown.
The One whose chains I must accept
Has carried me this far
He never leaves
Has never hurt
