As a little girl
I was all alone
I faced the world
and turned to stone
your love was a pillar that set me free
and thawed the ice
that froze in me
I was a loney child
enthroned in the earth
scared of the guilt
that followed my birth
the wrold around me faded away
as your soft-spoken words
melted the clay.
no longer a girl,
no longer alone
now that I've found a place to call home.
