Inside of Me
How do I bear the pain of the world?
And hold it all inside of me
Inside Of Me
If you could see inside of me
what would you think.
Would you ask the question,
how can this be?
This Sister so confident
Whose opinions we seek with each day is spent
Whose mind you'd love to step inside - to understand the pain she hides
Everywhere you'd see her
she will be holding the bag
Her heart is used by others in this game we call tag
One would hold a part of her at a time forevermore
They are at her feet
now they'd come to her front door.
Just how she must have managed to last
I wonder how can this be?
Inside Her another one - I can see
Another bag beside her
In a collection she keeps whats left
Her bags are millions oftorn up rags
so many - so many bags
Keeping them she does to make the most durable one of them all
For this run she will be able to hold much more..
There's one for her sister and one for her brothers.
And yes, there's even one for her mother.
She carries a bag for everyone
Bears the pain - no matter what they've done.
Takes it with her wherever she goes. Her family - She stands up on hertip-toes
This Woman..knows
She loves too much..
Everyone around looks for her touch
To be ready to hear her out
Explain what this life is all about.
Oh well- she loves them too much
They look to her to pick them up
They've got a problem
So they drop it inside her
for she will burn the hottest fire
It's all swept away
Everyone she loves will be ok
This woman- so strong and bold
Give it to her - her strength inside she's willing to hold
Holding your grief
In order for you to feel its relief
Holding your pain
Without strain
She loves them to much to turn them away
So she carries it all for another day
If you could see Inside Of Me
What would you think?
Would you ask the question
how can All this be
Inside...Her
One day she will be able to put it down
Only for yet, another Round
Inside of Me
