A lonely girl who never quite belonged
An injured sparrow
long without a home
A woman longing for a lover’s song
Or maybe she'd be better off alone
She was afraid she'd never trust in love
Her simple
faith had fallen like a stone
The fraud
she’d known had trapped her like a glove
Her heart
was broken, bloody to the bone
Then on an
unexpected sun scorched day
A man from
nowhere entered from the left
And boldly stepped
up on her fractured stage
His deepest love
for her he would profess
He didn't
ever know quite what to say
He never
understood her wrenching pain
Her tears
confused him, left him out of play
Still he
bound himself to her just like a chain
His gentle
ways were like a flowing stream
That slowly
washed away her secret rage
His hazel
eyes to her seemed like a dream
A light by
which she turned the tattered page
Say, Love, am
I really safe with you?
Or are you
like a house built on the sand?
Reflected in those eyes she saw the truth.
Reflected in those eyes she saw the truth.
And timidly she bravely took his hand.
