You've been robbed of your faith
it was replaced by new hate
while your innocence was taken away.

Your heart hurts so much
you avoid every touch
and live in fear of each day.

We uncover the fears
that have haunted for years
and we confront them face to face.

We give it a try
look it square in the eye
never quite sure of this place.

We take hold of the pain
and call it by name
and give it one last look.

You fell to your knees
begging God please
while you cowered and shook.

You've conquered the years
and collected your tears
in a pool of sorrow and grief.

You witness the terror
and realize your error
as you stare in disbelief.

We have to believe
that it's better to leave
then to stay and waste our time.

You can take what is yours
but do well to be sure
that you leave me what is mine.
