Why do you stand at the edges
Watching as others kneel
Why do you hide in the shadows
Watching as others shine
Why do you cry in the darkness
Listening as others rejoice
Why do you hold your breath
Listening as others sing

Can the heart truly release a desire so deep
It holds your soul within its grasp
Can there ever be surcease from the pain
Of seeing others defile your desire

Can you not step forward
Kneel before them
Can you not cast off the shadows
Shine with your own light
Can you not scream
The joy within your heart
Can you not catch your breath
Between your songs

Be that which feeds your soul
Find the place where you may stand
Be the light and sing the song
And cry aloud what you demand
