I’ll tell you a story
and sing you a song
Make up the words
while I string you along.
We’ll dance to the music
and step to the beat
Lose track of time
Ignore the ache in our feet.
My truth that I know
is the one that I give
But I am not perfect
I’m still learning to live.
I will make errors
And sometimes I fall,
but when I can’t walk
I’ll still try to crawl.
My soul is scorched
Seared by the brand
I carry the mark
put there by your hand.
The word that you spoke
and the heat of my ire
Left us both aching
Scarred by the fire.
I’ve told you my story
and sung you my song
These were the words
that I held all along.
Forward I go
alone and yet armed
Knowing I’ve borne
the worst of the harm.
