Sure Fire Embrace

Smiling in the mirror,

keeping thoughts locked tight

Fighting silent battles underneath the light

Walking through the hallway with a heavy,

quiet mind

Hoping that someone notices the shadows left behind

You don't have to carry the dark all on your own

Even in the crowd,

you're never truly alone

Speak the heavy truth,

let the healing light break through

Break the stigma down,

we're standing here with you

Half of us are hurting,

but we suffer out of fear

Whispering our sorrows where nobody else can hear

But statistics show that talking turns the tide

When we drop the armor and we drop the heavy pride

You don't have to carry the dark all on your own

Even in the crowd,

you're never truly alone

Speak the heavy truth,

let the healing light break through

Break the stigma down,

we're standing here with you

Reach out your hand,

take a breath, say your name

Asking for support is never cause for shame

Let the walls tumble down,

let the whispers turn to song

This is where your story and your healing both belong

You are seen, you are heard,

you belong right here...

Let the music play until the shadows disappear.
