She's shrouded in darkness, alone in her fear

her slight silhouette reflects back from the mirror

eyes from the past looming in at her soul

memories like claws dig in, taking control

Slivers of light from the streetlamps outdoors

spill onto her pillow like waves on a shore

she’s silently screaming a prayer in her heart

she’s made invisibility into an art

Her eyes are so dry, but her blood’s running fast

she longs to overcome the pain of her past

and its in these moments she starts to be free

when she battles hard against all that she’s seen 

She’s moving mountains, though no one may notice

she’s pressing forward, and she’s gaining focus

they tried to contain her by tearing her down

but she was too strong, she's defeating them now.

Hope opens her sky up, and love is the rain

whatever storms befall, there is comfort for pain

cling tight, little dreamer, keep courage alive

someday you’ll be able to more than survive
