Landmines

I thought that I could see just
what it was that's killing me  
I stepped in holes up to my knees,
my courage tested my reality  
From hell to heaven, I will declare,
just what angels really dare  
to lend me wings with feathers strong so
I can fly from all the wrongs  

I lift my feet from this ground  
But every step brings me back down  
These holes are landmines in disguise  
Past loves and losses that still rise  

Exploding truth into my eyes  
And tearing open old goodbyes  
Yet angels whispered in my ear  
That every wound can disappear  

If I can rise above the pain  
And learn to dance within the rain  
I'll find the strength to carry on  
And turn these landmines into song
