Up and Down But in Your Arms

Once when I was a young girl,
I cried and I cried and I cried...
Nothing made sense but wickedness and loneliness
Their smiles and happiness were lies

I thought of all the ways to disappear
To take my life
Demons haunted me day and night
I still have no idea why...

Then one day she woke me up
She was the hidden voice inside me
I did not believe that she had found me
Like long-lost best we friends reunited!

I was seventeen then
When I buried my suffering soul
I listened to my beautiful voice
She took my hand and always led me

I had no need of people, places or things
I was flying!
Spinning to the music of my soul
I saw angels all around me

Then one day i went for a swim
The tide was strong and had crept in
Waves tossed me to and fro
I finally realized I was drowning

I took one last breath and surrendered myself
To a fate of death
I had no cares or fears,
But I did not want to leave

But there was this hand
It pulled me out of the water
I felt it, I know it, an Angel
My time had not come yet

After that I always felt protected
Knew I had a destiny
My soul had been awakened
From such a deep and dark slumber

She always guides me
Even if I don't know which street to take late at night
She guides me and provides
Keeps me safe from harm

Why I don't know I have been so blessed
Someone up there loves me
There is a truth to that
I smile and I shine because I know it!
