Safe Horizon

(hummmm) There was a room inside my memory

where the lights were never kind

A little child sat in the corner learning how to disappear with

time She smiled before she was ready she stayed quiet to survive

She carried storms inside her body

and called it being fine

But I hear her now beneath the years I feel her trembling

through my tears And I won't leave her not tonight I'll hold

her hand and bring her back to light

Little me, come home You don't have to be alone

The world was heavy on your shoulders but you were never made

of stone

Little me, breathe slow

There is love you didn't know

What they broke was not your worth

You are safe now

You can let it go

You learned to read the silence before you learned to dream

You knew the sound of footsteps

and what anger really means You became the peaceful daughter

the strong one in the room

But no one saw the child inside who needed softness too

So I'll sit beside the girl I lost I'll tell her pain

was not her fault

Every scar that shaped her name will not decide who she becomes

again

I am not the fear they gave me

I am not the house that hurt I am not the words

that followed like shadows through the earth

I am the voice that found me

I am the arms I needed then

I am the mother of my own heart I am beginning

again

Little me, come home We don't have to run anymore

There is sunlight at the window there is peace behind the door

Little me, you know We are learning how to grow

What they broke was not our future We are safe now We

can let it go

Sleep now,

little angel

I will keep the monsters far

You were never hard to love

You were always made of stars.
