To the Children Walking on Rainbows Through a Thunderstrm

Angel Child Never let them see you cry Those Hazel eyes only reflect pain From the hurt of the hurters They will never know the bruises they made Carried weight in your heart Making your steps a little bit heavier And their words cut a little bit closer Because you've resolved to rise above the bitterness hidden within a closed fist Darling Child Raised hands can't protect you from the words cutting deep Slashing holes in your ego Large enough to make you doubt the promise of your legacy But I promise you, Angel Child You are the only thing keeping you from your glory Stand firm in the knowledge that you are the epitome of a dream deferred You will break the silence of a hope bred in violence So don't let your song go unsung Sweet Child These wounds will heal Your heart may not work the same But it will work The calluses burned into your feet From treading mountains over molehills Will only make our journey Easier Your destiny is not yet fulfilled You must rise from the embers To lend your heart to another There will be a time When the clouds will break The sun will shine And with new hazel eyes you will see the world for the gold hidden below the thorns My sweet Angel Child Believe in the Sun when it rains In joy when there is none For your scars will reveal the beauty in your fingertips And inspire another heart to keep beating...beating..
