The Child Within

GrandFather help me to free my child within.

When I was a Child
It started happening to Me
When I was a Child
I just couldn't See

When I got a little Older
It started getting Worse
When I got a little Older
I started losing my Thirst

When I was a young Man
I gave into the Fear
When I was a young Man
I started to not be Here

Where am I Now
I asked myself Today
Where am I Now
I didn't know what to Say

My Journey is Long
And not always Smooth
My Journey is Long
I gotta learn to tell the Truth

The Truth to Myself
The Truth to Myself
Oh, why the Hell
Can't I Tell
The Truth to Myself
The Truth to Myself

Oh, why the Hell
Can't I Tell
The Truth to Myself

And then I saw a Rose 
It was just hanging There
I held it up to my Nose
It somehow made me Aware

I don't need to do a Thing
Oh, what joy that it Brings
I don't need to do a Thing
Oh, what joy that it Brings

Because what did the Rose Do
Did it try to Please
What did the Rose Do
It just Is, no one to Appease

I gotta see with my own Heart
There is no One to do for Me
I gotta see with my own Heart
It is the only thing to set me Free

Slowly the skies are getting Clearer
Slowly the answers begin to Reveal
And soon I will see the one in the Mirror
Soon you will see that I have been Healed

Thankful the Child who lives Within
Finally seeing his way to the Light of Day
Thankful the Child who now Begins
Finally freed of the burden of the old Way

He will soon be found Laughing
You might not even recognize Him
He will soon be found Dancing
I release you, my Child Within
