Listen to the old sounds that cry at night
oh how the old wind blows again
holding back the years of pains deep within
I think about the fear I've had so long
I know deep down I must face the pains
but for now, I keep running with the wind
I pray that somebody will listen to my pains
I pray that life will not stay this away
Listen to the fear that's gone on way to long
can anybody help me, please
I am strangled by the wishes
I begged for I hoped for love to find me someday
but all I have is broken down dreams
sooner or later love will find me?
Oh Lord please help me find my way
Holding back the years I held so long
I know this one day will be a song
A chance for me to escape from all I know
it will never be a word untold
I held back my deep emotions of unspoken pains
I held those long chocking tears of being alone
nothing here is wrong but this sad old song
that keeps hanging on
I've wasted all my tears holding on fear
I have no reason to let Love come near
I know I have to take care of what I held deep within
that has been cutting at my heart for a way too long
darkens of a broken home
the scares that yet hasn't held
the words of lies haunt me day and night
Wasted all those years just fighting back the pains
standing alone in the rain
hoping the rain would wash away all my pains
Nothing had the chance to be good
no way not in the hood
Nothing ever could go right with a mother and a father
never by my side, they left me in a cold darken world
all alone with no one to hold me
when the pain got too much for me
I'll keep holding on to the sound of the wind
sing out to me deep within
I made the wind and the capricious moon
they are my only friends.
