I laid down on the grass today
to give myself to the earth,
Mother Nature wouldn't take me;
she foiled my rebirth.

I opened my eyes with much dismay to find i still remained.
I wanted the word to heal me of a life I've lived in pain.

I trusted the ground would swallow me and take away my fears, I trusted the rain would cleanse my soul and wash away my tears.

The sun emerged, and suddenly a warm and friendly voice
had lifted me and told me that these feelings were my choice,
"If you are feeling sorrowful, open up your curtains,
don't escape the life you're given because you feel uncertain.
Do not look to others to find your internal bliss,
It's you that is responsible for your own happiness."

These words rang within me, and became my eternal song,
I finally discovered what it takes to make myself be strong.
When you feel like giving up and hope someone will guide you,
know the person who can change you is the one that is inside you.
