INNER STATUE

When something tragic happens

I’m the first to fall apart

My Mama says, Babe that’s okay

It just shows a loving heart

I know how much you loved me

There was never room for doubt

And you’d be the first to ask me

What my tears are all about

~~~*Chorus*~~

You’d say find your inner statue

Brave the strong winds and the rain

Stand tall, and proud, and beautiful

Don’t crumble with the pain

Now you pull yourself together

This is no time to be meek

Girl, seek that inner statue

Show them what you've learned from me

It’s right to have a loving heart

But don’t let it make you weak

~~*~~

You have always been my champion

My defender and my friend

Convinced me I was priceless

That’s the message which you sent

~~~*Lyrical Bridge*~~~

For you I tried

I tried not to cry

I wanted to smile

Be so strong in your eyes

But you have always been there

Matched me stride for stride

All I could think about

Was your absence in my life

~~*~~

~~~*Chorus*~~

You’d say find your inner statue

Brave the strong winds and the rain

Stand tall, and proud, and beautiful

Don’t crumble with the pain

Now you pull yourself together

This is no time to be meek

Girl, seek that inner statue

Show them what you've learned from me

It’s right to have a loving heart

But don’t let it make you weak

~~*~~

~~~*Finale*~~~

I’ll miss my loving statue

With your sound and giving heart

But I will strive, to live my life

Being strong when it gets hard

Show the world, what I learned

All I've received from you

I will seek ...
Until I find...

My inner statue
