Breathless and helpless,

alone inside walls of disbelief,

you pull out of the muck,

past dripping from your curls,

Never Again chisels your jaw

into a path you need to keep.

Feel the fears, my love,

shed the tears,

see the mistakes

and let them all go.

Climb the mountains,

rise above the crowns

of ancient trees and jagged crags.

Sing truth into the siren sky,

be afraid and take up space,

stars are listening with bated breath.

Feel the fears, my love,

shed the tears,

see the mistakes

and let them all go.
