Power

No matter what I do, I know I'll always be loved by you
But lately someone's been on my heels- trying to take everything away.
They've been making me pay- for something I didn't do.

What's this something I haven't done? Its what I'm about to do.
My destiny, my future too- but that doesn't mean that they've won.
But they really don't want to deal with the woman I'm bound to become.

I'm having trouble needing him, because it feels like I shouldn't
give in- its something just inside me rebelling
against me becoming even the tiniest bit annoying or needy.

But I can't help but know what's true- I love him so dearly.
And I do know what's untrue- every other feeling that obscures that view.
I want to feel him in love with who I am with him.

And behind my eyes I see a little girl who used to sit by herself and cry.
Everyday that she opened her eyes was a challenge until he was sent
to wipe tears from her eyes, and my heart has been growing ever still.

These words of mine no longer strive to hide that little girl inside.
She's starting to open doors, no longer scared- stronger and wise.
I move to help her now- so tired of being on the floor sitting so still.

So with the enemy at my back, ever hot on my heels, I will turn
to shout and protect my destiny- the woman that little girl will grow up to be.
She will live in this world- free, because I love him and he loves me.
