Silent I have been
For far too long
I have not spoken the right words
Or clearly sang the song

Now is the time
That I begin again
If only to let out
All that is within

Does a bird not sing
for fear of being judged
A lioness not hunt
For fear of losing touch with her cubs

All this before me
Finally to find my cause
All these trials
To finally embrace my flaws

All that is within us
Painful glorious and true
Its only natural
What we all go through
