It Yells
It yells and screams
From deep inside
Trying to work its way out
Through anger and pain
It shines through again
Like the sun on a brilliant fall day
The red glowing leaves
Rustle in the wind
To bid goodbye to the warmth
It is coming…
You can feel it moving
Just beyond the hill, there…
It glares at the earth with malice
It will overtake the valley soon
With a single sweep of its grand arms
We will all be swallowed up
Defenseless in its grasp

Forget about your fears
For they will always be
Forget about your worries
Cause only time will see
Take my hand now
Walk with me
Down the unknown path
To whatever may be
As long as you are close
I’ll be secure
As long as you are near
My love will endure
There is always that time
When you have to decide
Where to go from here
And which path to abide
Within yourself you know
The best path to choose
As long as you are by my side
We will never lose
So hold on tight
To all you know
Our journey is just beginning
So together, we will go
As I sit down tonight
To write this song I sing
I feel like a bird in flight
Who forgot how to use her wings
Swooping along, out of control
Not knowing where to turn
To Hang on
Or just let go…
What options do I have
As I follow your lead
Forgetting about the life I crave
To let you do as you please
Patience and understanding
Is all you ask of me
But if I sit in this cage
What kind of bird would I be?
Can we not learn together
To fly to heights beyond
Any place we could go
Just being alone?
