ALL
THE THINGS SHE HAS BEEN
Downtrodden
Downhearted
Bearing
the load
Down,
down that road
The
road of sadness
She
has seen the worst
Round
and round
Up
and down
Helter
skelter
All
that has melt her
The
pain and agony
That
threw its worst at her
But
what has happened since
She
is on her own
She
looks to the heavens above
That
is full of love for her
Her
eyes, her eyes
Feeling
wiser
Her
self-confidence filling her
Arching
away the pains
Arching
away for the gains
Exerting,
exertion, emotions
Emotions
filling her
Tears
a flowing
It’s
easier now
She
is making her own decisions
She
is saving herself
Learning
to forgive herself
There
are times she is confused
Now
she is feeling amused
No
more bemusement
Down
in that basement
The
darkest of darkest
Oh
she is out in the light
Breathing
in the fresh air
Oh
she has no care
There
is no one making her change
She
is doing what she feels
Exploding
like a fire on fire
Her
passion now out in the open
Her
passion to dance and dance
Dance
day and night
There
were times when there was no understanding
Understanding
the truth from lies
She
was afraid of letting go
Along
time ago
Her
dreams shattered
All
those dreams that mattered
She
needed something to believe in
But
here she is letting go
Her
fiery passion
Her
powder canvas
All
the colours of the rainbow
There
for her to pick and choose
And
dance, dance too
Woman
to woman
We
know what it is all about!
Keeping
holding on to love
That
love will get a hold on us
Just
like the ballerina
Dancing
to love
Dancing
to a better future
Oh
such memories
Oh
such new memories
When
you look into her eyes
There
is such hope
No
more saying “nope”
No
more saying “this way”
It
is now this way
She
is going to make it
There
is a look of determination
A
determined demonstration
She’ll
dance to her own flow
And
make a determined “have a go”
With
her own confidence
Happy,
happy, happily
