Will you help me out
I am running from this pain
Will you touch me now
Running from mistakes I made
Long ago
Heartbreaks and rain
When I was a confused youth
I wish I had been braver
Wish I'd spoken my truth
We buried our heads in sand
Made a mess of my hometown
With our Mud skyscrapers
The Earth shook and they came down
Oh the wounded lay in ruble
Letting their madness go
You gotta sing your true song
Or be food for the crows
Why is it so scary to say what I mean
Why is it so scary to really be seen
Oh I need kind hands around me
Dancing at the party with trusting friends getting free
I want to forgive
Let the rain wash o'er us
Grow a home and live
In a greening Forrest
To hear
The cowering fears
The warfare of our past
And smiling wait here for you
With our children at this dance
