“Seeming Contradictions”

The empty pages seem so lonely

So hard to shake the feeling there is only me - there is only me

That the walls around my heart will never allow anything else to b

Their silence mocks me and my desire to be free

A moment of inspiration - A quiet exaltation - I can not deny

From deep inside I hear my heart cry

“Freedom!  Freedom!”

From the pain that holds me captive - the fear that steals my liberty

I find a moment of truth - In your embrace I’m free

“Freedom!  Freedom!”

I come to you and hold on with all my might

Knowing I can never leave until you bless this flight

“Freedom!  Freedom!”

And in the struggle to hold on to you

I find the strength to believe - I am free

“Freedom!  Freedom!”

The walls of my own making lie in the dust

I find in watching their breaking - a sacred trust

I give you this day - I give you all of my life

Every waking moment - joy and pain, laughter and strife

All the fear and sorrow - all the guilt and shame

Melt away in your embrace - as I hear you call my name
