the heart of truth

Do not let me go

All alone into that darkness any more

Even though I know I can survive it

Will one day

Come alive

Learn to rise

Because when you stand close by

And hold my hand

I finally know

The power of real love

There was never a time

The powers that be

Gave me permission

To be

But you see

When we share

I find the understanding

I always longed for

Sometimes you show me

Parts of me I fear

Because others taught me they were ugly

When the truth was

It was my sword I needed

To cut to the heart of truth

And when they denied me this

I lost the way to really live

Until I met you and you showed me the reality

Of what I must embrace

In order to

Come alive

Inside my truth
