KIM'S GARDENS
and today
as you looked into my eyes
I was surprised to feel
I am still alive
and today
when I saw the way you smiled
I was surprised to feel
something survived
I thought I was gone
lost in the last war
betrayed by my heart
burned through to the core
I thought it was over for me
but you might just set me free
yesterday
I forgot how to believe
in love
and I still grieve
and today
something awoke deep inside
did you feel it
oh so well I hide
I still feel afraid
to trust anything
my feelings betrayed me
cut my heart strings
I thought it was over for me
but maybe you will set me free
it was not so long ago that
my whole world came crumbing down
I lost everything that mattered to me
and gave up on myself... and everything else
and I woke up one day on the street
wondering what lifes about
now I'm just trying to survive
the waves of fear and doubt
and today
as you looked into my eyes
I was surprised to feel
I am still alive
and today
when I saw the way you smiled
I was surprised to feel
something survived
I thought I was done
prisoner of my pains
banished to my lost soul
where hopelessness reigns
I thought it was over for me
but you might just set me free
and today
could I really start all over?
you don't know what a friend you could be
if you just chose to care about me
and fit me somewhere into your life
to show me somebody cares
if you could be a true friend
I'd like to believe somebody cares
yesterday
I forgot how to believe
in love
and I still grieve
and today
something awoke deep inside
did you feel it
oh so well I hide
I still feel weary
my trust is so shakey
my scars are still bleeding
I need some nurturing, some empathy
I thought it was over for me
but maybe you will set me free
And Today
(Maybe You Will Set Me Free)
