Phoenix
Maria Thorlacius 1982 (Reykjavik)
When you have fallen
Who is there that comes calling
The darkness in your mind
The big black cloud that makes you blind
That blocks your way out
That makes you scream a silent shout
Hidden and never talked about
Because you are fine
Until it is the end of the line
In a battle for your worth
it’s death or re birth
If only there is a glimpse of light
That can erase out the dark night
So reach out your hand
Before you reach the end
It only takes one good soul
To pull you up from the black hole
So choose to stay
If only for one more day
It will take a lot
Perhaps everything you got
But the storm will pass
And the darkness will become less
Believe you are worthy
And continue your life’s story
