lyrics

Don’t be afraid, I’m here my child to take away
the stake that’s in your side damaging the faith that follows. The storm is cold. Is it enough
to break the hold of the man you cling to as you run away from me? Twisting the hand that
sets you free. Oh what hand have I twisted and missed it once again? The point of it all was
that these feet were made to run not crawl. This brick wall has become my home where I
reside alone and through these lines I see my way out but they’re just to fine. Don’t be
afraid, just listen child and I will guide you home upon my throne, clothed in robes of light
beside you. The way is fine. If not my son then the path was never mine and nevermind to
the old way. My arms out wide can’t stop the sands of time. I’ve been lost at sea for so long
that I forgot I never left the shore. God I finally see that the point of it all was never me.
