Will There Come A Day

Every morning when I wake and the fog of dreamland clears
I wonder will this be the day that I stand up to my fears
But every day is always the same, the fears keep me in line
The sands flow through the hourglass and I'm running out of time

Every day I hope for strength to finally stand my ground
But fear is overpowering and strength is never found
The fear is rooted deep within, below the conscious plane
And from this place so deep inside, my heart is filled with pain

Will there come a day
When the pain is washed away
When it's just a distant memory
Will there come a day
When I can laugh and play
When my heart is finally set free

I shy away from everyone because I lack self-confidence
Afraid of failure and rejection and all that they represent
Afraid that I won't say enough, afraid that I may say too much
Afraid of getting hurt again, afraid of even the slightest touch

I don't want anyone to see the fears within my eyes
And I try hard to make sure no one sees my endless cries
But sometimes I don't have the strength to keep the mask on straight
And then the mask falls off and all my fear is on display

Will there come a day
When the fear is locked away
When I will not be afraid to speak
Will there come a day
When the pain is kept at bay
And I'm rid of everything which keeps me weak

Will there come a day
When I find a place to stay
A place where I will finally fit in
Will there come a day
When I can finally say

That I'm comfortable in my own skin
