Inside

A recording of this work is available for download. Song by Molly Countermine and Ted McCloskey, performed by Maxwell Strait

i give you my laughter

i give you my love

i give you my body

make it fit like a glove

i show you a teardrop

i show you a sign

but there's a place deep inside me

that is no one's but mine

you tell me you love me

you tell me you care

you think you can help me

find my way back from there

but whenever I'm there

I'm completely alone

you might catch a glimpse

through all the pain that I've known

inside...

all the layers of me

alone and afraid and unable to see

this weakness has a hold of my heart

and as it eludes me it tears us apart

I look for some comfort

I run from the pain

but it comes back to haunt me

again and again

the image of me

is so vivid and clear

but it blurs like the watercolors

as you draw near

inside...

time to discover what's underneath it all

I'm gonna pull back the covers

prepare myself to fall

I can rise ap above it won't let it pull me down

I'm walking on water, I'm not afraid to drown
