Don't let me tell you
what I've been through
Or the lengths I went to
Deepest rivers and majestic silence
Like danger, it's palpable
Silence that haunts and stalks
Like the wild beasts of the Amazon
Crouching tigers and hidden dragons
Don't let me say what I've been through
Some in life will think you've
Had it easy. But you're silent
You have your reasons
Like your thoughts you've
Kept imprisoned
Just so your heart could fly
All the stories you buried (deep)
So one day your mind could sprout
Don't let me tell you
The things I went through
Just so my mind will sprout
I've always had
My God and a warm bed
And a family for me that cares
I give thanks for the life I've had
It's also made me who I am
All the things I went through
And the times that God came through
All the scars I carry
And times behind I tarried
Just yesterday was a great day I
Wouldn't speak of
Maybe tomorrow I'll later pick up
But don't let me
Tell you things I've been through
Everyone has what they go through
I only pray it doesn't create more brutes
This much, I can tell you
Don't let me tell you
The things I went through
Just so my mind will sprout
Deepest rivers and majestic silence
Like danger, it's palpable
Silence that haunts and stalks
Like wild beasts of the Amazon
Crouching tigers and hidden dragons
Don't let me say what I've been through
Or even the lengths I went to...
