lyrics

Like an Angel’s face,
Her open smile conveys
Abundant warmth and strength,
But cannot hide her pain

Her confidence, portrayed
As constantly maintained,
Is yet somehow betrayed
By something in her gaze

And softly spoken,
Carefully, her words are chosen
To defend a secret she retains,
Like a treasure, held close to heart,
Hidden deep within,
Where she can keep it safe

Her dreams are troubled by twists of fate
Both seen and unforeseen
And, now burdened by the weight of change,
She finds herself, taxed beyond her means

But only half of the story told
Will ever be hers alone, to hold
And only half of this broken soul
Will ever be hers to call her own

Her easy laugher,
Alive and unrestrained,
In every sense, eloquent
Of a certain gentle grace

Like a candle flame,
By shelter from the wind, sustained,
She seems to live-
Only for the day

Of carelessness she gives no hint,
Her survival evidence
That she depends
On more than simple faith-
As she builds a wall around her heart,
A secret place,
Where she can still feel safe

Her dreams are troubled
By memories of things she's never seen
Still within these visions, she believes,
She may find the answers that she seeks

But only half of the story told
Will ever be hers alone, to hold
And only half of this broken soul
Will ever be hers to call her own
