The world used to be
Such a loud and raucous place
Filled with people going
This way and that

Nobody notices anything
Or so you do believe
Their voices filling your ears
With words you cannot hear

You watch them pass by
Trying to get the courage
To open your mouth and speak
The words you're holding inside

But you can't find anyone
Who has the time to listen
So you stand there in silence
Staring blankly ahead

Going nowhere
Unlike everyone else
Who has somewhere to go
Someone to go to

You don't have that
This you know deep in your core
And it pains you time and time again
To know the sore truth

No one is listening
Nobody is watching
So you reach for the light switch
Gently turning out the lights

In darkness you are enveloped
It's cold embrace welcoming to you
Finally in a place where
There are people just like you

But I wish for you that you find
Solace in the arms of an angel
Instead of wrapped in a black blanket
Of endless lies and deceit

This is all I wish for you
So please take time to stop
Look and listen to and at people
Then maybe you will find your angel

Their arms wide open to you
Welcoming you to where you find solace
Greeting you with a smile
Filled with the love you missed before

You know it's here
You'll find where you belong
Now close your eyes, my sweet darling
This is where you are finally free
