From The Inside

Sittin' near ya, starin' at ya,

Saying nothing.

Wond'rin' if you're really you

And if I'm someone

That you could know

Beyond the first hello.

Eyes that search like the morning sun

But never finding

Silently I can feel the glow

And I'm not minding

But then you know

I've been tryin' to show

Why it makes me cry

Talkin' it over from the inside.

Something new and oh, so sacred

Grows within the depths of you

But still I just can't keep from wond'rin'

For I'm but a child, too.

Changes timelessly fill the spaces.

It's so blind of me.

I've seen the faces of a gifted few

Who can help us break our chains that bind.

Thinkin' all the time

Why I can't unwind

You must feel the pain

Why it makes me cry

I'm talkin' it over from the inside.
