A Way Back - Original Lyrics ([e-mail])
I awoke this morning, lost and alone
In the mirror stood a stranger, without a home
This feeling, I tried to discard, but it won't let go
I don’t recognize myself, a soul filled with woe
In times like this, I feel like an empty shell
Pulled deep down, on this side of hell
It feels like I’m trapped in a perpetual haze
As a prisoner caught in an endless maze
The walls often close in, and I cannot breathe out
Looking for light in the corners of doubt
I want to run, but where do I go?
Forever feeling lost, stuck in a deep hole
I'm looking for the light, a way through the dark
A place to call home, where I can begin a new start
It's so hard alone, to find my way
Wanting to again see, the light of day
This feels like hell, don't treat myself well
With feelings of despair, I am alone
Wanting so earnest, to find my way home
I’ve been falling behind, losing my way
Leaving my heart in the shadows to stay
Perhaps the answer lies not in this fight
But in the grace of seeking the light
With kindness and love, I’ll mend my soul
Reaching out, I’ll begin to feel whole
I'm looking for the light, a way through the dark
A place to call home, where I can begin a new start
It's so hard alone, to find my way [home]
Wanting to again see, the light of day
I’ll take a deep breath, let the stillness set in
Embrace the calm, and let the healing begin
With each step forward, I’ll rise and stand tall
Though the path is uncertain, I won’t let myself fall
I'll heal and treat myself well, finding my way
I'll become my own friend, loving myself today
No more tears, no more chains
I’ll treat myself and others the same
