The Secret
Panic stricken in the dead of night
Buried word needing to take flight
Safely hidden beneath the blanket of time
Ticking away at a child’s mind.
Lil child it will be okay
Lil child tell your secret today.
Hours and minutes appear and fade
Time pressures the secret of past
Promise of hurt and pain rushing fast
Here comes a word, don’t be afraid.
Lil child it will be okay
Lil child tell your secret today.
Your secret is safe within my hands
No one will hurt you, please understand
Open your heart and sing your song
Dance with the stars where you belong.
Lil child it will be okay
Lil child tell your secret today.
