lyrics

The child within me
showed her face today
and asked if I wanted to play.
I'd been away for far too long.
And I cried, "Yes! Show me the way.
Show me your secret place.
Your tree house is my saving grace.
Show me it all."
And I wish that little girl comes everyday
to remind me in her little way
just how to live.

Here I am.
You finally see me.
No walls, no dams.
Only the truth as I try to be like the child in me,
who helps me understand.

When did this happen?
I'm just watching days go by.
How did this happen?
And why did I feel like I needed to hide?
It's not right.
Why do I care what they say?

Here I am.
You finally see me.
No walls, no dams.
Only the truth as I try to be like the child in me,
who helps me understand.

I am inspired; I need to go higher than ever before.
I was given a reason to be here, so why do I fear the unknown?
I need to dive into this secret. I won't be ignored.
Today is day I need to let go.

Here I am.
You finally see me.
No walls, no dams.
Only the truth as I try to be like the child in me,
who helps me understand.

Today is the day we let go.
