Locked within the heart of me,
There’s a part of me,
That’s cold,
Frozen in the emptiness,
Are wounds and fears,
So old.
Sanctum fortified,
Iron gates to hold and hide,
You’d be grieved inside,
If you only knew.

Corridors within my mind,
Ring echoes from the past,
Teardrops from my heartless words,
And deeds,
Resolved to last,
Framed upon the walls,
Accomplishments of skills and scrawls,
You would be appalled,
If you only knew.

Drifting on the open sea,
Where passions surge and roam,
Soon familiar bearings change,
And I feel so far from home,
Penitent the cries,
Torn between the lures and lies,
You would be surprised,
If you only knew.

Bridge:
     Lashing out in anger,
     When a kind word would appeal,
     Holding back the gentleness to heal.

Chorus:
     But I’m forgiven and I don’t understand,
     Why He’d wipe the slate clean,
     With the touch of His nail pierced hand,
     A love so undeserved, boundless and free,
     You’d receive it just like me,
     If you only knew..
