I see the pain inside you,  and there is nothing I can do
I know I'm part of what hurts your heart
But I can't give relief to you
You need to search inside yourself
And find a way to fight
A way to put the past in the past
And leave it there for life
You must unchain yourself
From the pain of your past
If you are ever to live free
Fight your way
Back to the place
That you truly want to be
You have the strength within you
To take the first step to heal
To reach out your hand and ask for help
Tell God how you feel
Know my child you are but human
And mistakes are a part of you
Leave them behind you and move ahead
Start your life anew
The pain of your past cannot hurt you
If you leave it where it belongs
Take the step and move ahead
Upward, and onward.  Be strong.
