  1. The chains may have fallen away

     

    You told me I’m not a prisoner,

    So what still holds me back?

    You told me the doors aren’t closed,

    So why do I still cower?

    You told me I’m shackled no more,

    So why do my feet falter?

    You told me the punishing had stopped

    So why do my limbs still tremble?

    You told me not to be sad,

    So why doesn’t my heart sing?

     

    The chains may have fallen away

    But I still long to be held.

    The doors may be open

    But I still yearn to be warm.

    The shackles may be undone

    But I still want to linger.

    The wounds may have filled

    But I still carry the pain.

    The tears may have stopped

    But I still want to remember.

  2. Will you take a step.

     

    Will you take a step,

    A step back into the shadows

    In the hope that you’ll be lost.

    Will you take a step,

    A step forward into the light

    In the hope that you’ll be found.

     

    Will you sing a song

    A song of what could have been

    in the hope that you’ll forget

    Will you sing a song,

    A song of what could be

    In the hope that you’ll inspire

     

    Will you dream a dream

    A dream of what you’ve had

    In the hope that it will hurt for a while

    Will you dream a dream

    A dream of what may be

    In the hope that you’ll smile for a while.

     

    And

     Will you, will you

    Will you live a life

    In the hope that you’ll meet death one day

    Will you live a life

    In the hope that you’ll

    Shine for ever
