Stolen mask

Hidden behind a stolen mask
Dark as night
Old as time
Cold as death

Seeking for right moment
For right sign
To put the mask down
To go on

Standing on a bridge, looking back to my past
Afraid to jump, beyond river of sin
Unable to move, chained by irons of lies

Hands shaken, mouth closed
Unable to put my feelings in words

Eyes not shut down, wide open
Memories all that remind

Then You came
As wind hugged my hair
You hugged my soul
Dislodging ancient enemies of regret and pain

You were there
Where no one was standing before
Beside me

In darkness of mind
Your words were candles given to a child You taught me never to run, never to hide

Suddenly the clock stopped ticking
Everything was so quite
The birds break the silence by chirping
And you grabbed that mask
Whispering words of love and trust in my mind

You broke the mask
Released me, from my pains
Now I'm free to go on
I'm free to be the ONE
