How do we say what sits in our mind
Without falling to the consequences
The painful and unforgiving kind
That manage to alter each of our senses
Unsure of the words you'll sit and try
To construct that perfect alibi
To explain away the confusion you face
Until you reach your peaceful place
A place where there is no way to harm
But only feel love as they sit in your arms
Though the road to this place is unclear
The truth is that it may soon be near.
Though we sat in the darkness up to now
Soon sanctuary will emerge from it's cloud
And as we try to describe how we feel
Or declare how it may not seem real
We must stay strong and weather the storm
To reach sanctuary with all of its warmth.
