A quiet moment, alone on a swing
Hoping my heart can remember to sing
Floating on air, in the bright morning light
Knowing full well, I must keep up the fight
To conquer this monster, restless in me
I can no longer take all of life’s sympathy
For those who don’t know, it feels like you’ve died
From all of those emotions you’ve kept deep inside
I look not for pity, from eyes as they glare
But hope one day, I am not ashamed to share
The burdens I lay at my very own feet
Trying so hard, to fight this defeat
I’ve locked it away, yet it’s close to my heart
The sadness I feel, like I’m falling apart
Not knowing which way I can turn and still care
Falling deeper and deeper into empty despair
Til the chirp of a bird sings its own happy song
And in that very moment, my heart sings along
Rejoicing, he sings, such a sweet melody
His reminder, that happiness is waiting for me
