I hear a drum in the distance
Someone is calling my name
The voice is so familiar
And I can hear hints of pain

I journey a little closer
Wondering who I'd find
I arrive at a stone of mirrors
And I realize the voice is mine

Inside the stone is my past
Trapped in the reflection of the mirrors
The younger me is crying
For the decisions that she's made
Are the reasons that I'm dying

Still the drum beats on
The noise from a long hidden place
I realize that it's the beating of my heart
That I've long ago trapped in a steel safe

I hid the safe in the depths of my soul
A place I never thought it would survive
But as I look in the eyes of my past self
I realize this is also why she cries

She had so many dreams
A paradise she had planned
But she got clumsy
And it slipped out of her hands

I must free her
Or her burdens I will bare
I unlock the safe
And I shatter stone's mirrors

A black cloud emerges from the shattered glass
And I felt a weight lift from my soul
She is free a last
I can start to mend the empty holes

My heart is now weightless
It's beat peaceful as the stars
For the choice to be free
Has always been ours
