THE LOCKED BOX


My hearts been frozen for many years,
And so I cried so many tears.
I find within my heart of stone,
The fear of being left alone.

I try to find within myself,
How did my heart get on that shelf?
To see within that little box
It seems to hold so many locks.

I need to find so many keys
So I can learn to set it free.
Then one day I met a friend
Who said this heartache has to end.

And so I took the box off the shelf
To learn the lessons within myself,
To find within the heart of stone.
It's alright to be alone.

It's okay to cry those tears
For I have shed so many fears!
