Back Behind The Wheel

Angela Crabtree 1982 (maine)




Tears of joy or tears of sadness
Either way they are coming soon
Flowing from wounds unhealed
I saw my life in another form
Fear growing on the inside
A life growing in a womb
It happened all so fast
There was nothing I could do
Tears of sadness coming from fear
Eating me up on the inside
Starting to drive me crazy
I'm not sure what to do
These wounds don't have time to heal
I need to get back behind the wheel
