GO AND LIVE YOUR LIFE


So many years wasted
Abused and withdrawn
Reality suspended
Innocence long gone

Continual fight inside
Hope of freedom’s gain
The undue self-hatred
No relief from shame


~~~*Chorus*~~~
Oh there will be some healing time
After all that you’ve been through
And I know there will be nightmares 
That will always follow you
But you are free… 
Free to run and laugh
Free…
Free, you’re never going back
You... hold… your… head… up… high
Now go and live your life
~~*~~

Oh, you were the victim
Taken and demeaned 
But girl you are a warrior
Refusing to be beat

Now learn how to love yourself
Start with a clean page
You write out every grievance
Then set that list aflame


~~~*Chorus*~~~
Oh there will be some healing time
After all that you’ve been through
And I know there will be nightmares 
That will always follow you
But you are free… 
Free to run and laugh
Free…
Free, you’re never going back
You... hold… your… head… up… high
Now go and live your life
~~*~~

He can’t touch you physically
Don’t let him in your mind
You... hold…your…head…up…high
Now go and live your life
~~*~~
