Darling, the girl has been right here all along,
Can't you hear her sing her song?
The darkness has no where to hide, the light's too strong.
It retreats back into hell where it belongs,
The girl, is here happy and free, to say she's gone, and the darkness took her, you are wrong.
The laugh she gives, makes her stronger, listen again to her song,
Let your heart feel the words and the melody seep into your skin and once again feel the light she'll have lifelong.
The girl I used to be was happy and free
But the darkness came and took it away from me.
What happened to the girl that was once joyful and bright?
The one who used to hold so much light?
Put down that pill bottle,
put down that knife,
It may take awhile,
But you'll win this fight,
It may be long but you'll be alright,
The road is hard, but at the end, there's always a light for you to see,
A light to guide you where you need to be,
Stay strong my darling, you'll be okay,
Stay strong my darling, there's always a way,
Stay strong my darling, all the tears will fade
Stay strong my darling, and let the light leave you unafraid.
One, two, three, four, quietly shut the door,
Five, six, seven, eight, stop marking your body with hate,
Nine, ten eleven twelve, send your demons back to hell,
Thirteen, fourteen, fifteen, sixteen, rejoice! You're skin is clean!
Seventeen, eighteen, nineteen, twenty, go ahead and live life plenty.
The world today is as it's always been, filled with greed, death and war.
I sadly reflect that it get's worse and worse and through my heart it tore.
Soon everything must come to an end and so must the pain, blood, and gore.
I hope someday Christ will come and take away the pain the earth cannot stand anymore.
People are greedy and vile and I weep when I see them befoul the earth, stop it! I implore.
Alas! With a heavy heart I realize they will not, but ignore.
You're a fighter my darling, you've been through so much.
More than once you have escaped the devil's clutch.
Remember my darling when your sad and blue, even the worm turned into the butterfly and from the ground it flew.
Be aware my darling of how much you can do with simply your words as they can heal too.
You're amazing my darling, life can be tough. Just remember with that pretty mind of yours, you are enough.
