Within My Heart

Within my heart lives emptiness and fear.

It takes root from many lies and tears.

Within my heart lives emptiness and fear.

Within my heart lives a five-year-old girl.

She continues to run from those who use her.

Within my heart lives a five-year-old girl.

Within my heart lives a child of eight.

She wonders and looks for the love she needs.

Within my heart lives a child of eight.

Within my heart lives a young teenager.

She’s trying to find her long lost friend.

Within my heart lives a young teenager.

Within my heart lives a frightened young woman.

She’s afraid if she talks the terror will return.

Within my heart lives a frightened young woman.

Within my heart lives a morning mother.

She looks and looks for her sweet baby boy.

Within my heart lives a morning mother.

Within my heart lives hope for the future.

My savior will return and take it all away.

Within my heart lives hope for the future.
