I’ve sat in darkened hallways
Head between my knees
As silent tears echoed to the floor
I was there when you cried too
I’ve sat beside the bedside
Held the withered hand
As life slowly crept out of its shell
I sat there at the bedside with you too
I’ve sat beside the ocean
Words and waves lapping at my feet
As new worlds opened up inside
I sat beside you as you opened too
I see colors inside you
I feel new life emerging
In the quiet of the morning
I hear words only your heart can sing
The light it grows inside you
Each day it longs more to be free
So familiar, yet so foreign
I sit beside you, set you free
