DEAR INNER CHILD
by: Charlene Rizzico, Lyricist

Dear Inner Child
I see you there
With your trembling hands
A castle of dreams built on shifting sands
Your laughter echoes in forgotten halls
I hear your cries
through the paper-thin walls

Oh, little one
I’ve been so blind
Left you behind
in the depths of my mind
But I’m here now
To make it right
To hold your hand
Through the darkest night

You wore the weight
Of a world too cruel
Fighting battles in a one-sided duel
I see the tears you tried to hide
I’m sorry for the times I wasn’t by your side

Oh little one
I’ve been so blind
Left you behind
In the depths of my mind
But I’m here now
To make it right
To hold your hand through the darkest night

I’ll build a bridge
To where you stand
Undo the harm
With a steady hand
We’ll piece together all that’s torn
From shattered stars a new dawn’s born

Your voice is soft
But it calls so clearly
A melody of pain
That draws me near

Oh little one
I’ve been so blind
Left you behind
In the depths of my mind
But I’m here nowTto make it right
To hold your hand
Through the darkest night
Let’s rewrite the story
Page by page
Free your heart from its fragile cage
The Lord forgave me for the mistakes I've made
And now it's time to forgive myself
For the price you've paid
