She remembers a time when her heart was light and free
Before something was taken and she was brought to her knees
She remembers the joy and the true meaning of life
Now her days and her nights are filled with strife.
She searches for the happiness that was taken that day
A search that's exhausting and won't go away
The road is long and she remembers all she left behind
But it's a journey of rebirth, her heart she's trying to find.
She tries to find her way back to that time and place
When the small things brought such joy, putting a smile on her face
When her friends and her family back then
Would see her smile, her smile coming from deep within.
Sometimes it scares her of what she's become
But to the sadness and fear she won't succumb
The pain is still strong in her heart and head
Yet she stays strong for all that lies ahead.
The search has been long, but not a lonely one
With friends and family keeping her on the run
Back to that place that she once knew
Her heart healing, being born anew.
