As I go through this desert of pain I want look back I'll keep moving forward Until this journey is over I'm alone, fighting Outside smile, defeat Crying but not weak Just touched by others deceit Hoping love would reach out to me Not really, I understand People are lovers of themselves They can care less about me Lesson learned a long time ago Hush, whispers I hear Sounds like my mothers voice So faint I can hardly hear It'll be alright, daughter Hold your head up Walk on It's sweet but bitter The choices I must make Staying here are leaving here A struggle coming to the surface Doubt and fears Hate not love appears Truth, come and rescue me Set me free Hold me near and don't let go Feel me with the things I need most Joy, peace, and a since of belonging If I wait here long enough I know it will come Waiting, Waiting, Waiting It's here Came in on the wings of a song
