Echo

(album: As I Am - 2022)

I was holding
I was holding out for me
Feeling closed in
A Titanic lost at sea
I was frozen
As the truth was sinking in
Just a cry for help
Desperate to be heard
Through all the millions of voices
All caught up in millions of choices
I was too afraid to make

Built the walls to hide behind
Now I'm bouncing 'round inside
Like an echo
Seeing life through filtered eyes
As the world goes passing by
Like an echo
I'm gonna climb out of this cave into the light

I was hoping
That it all was just a dream
Then I woke up
To a panic, it would seem
It all started
With a picture on the screen
Just a cry for help
Desperate to be heard
Through all the billions of voices
All caught up in trillions of choices
That they're too afraid to make

Built the walls to hide behind
Now I'm bouncing 'round inside
Like an echo
Seeing life through filtered eyes
As the world goes passing by
Like an echo
I'm gonna climb out of this cave into the light

Walking up to the place where the sun light
Meets the darkness that sheltered my eyes
I wonder what it will feel like
Will it be hard, or leave me with scares
Or will I be greeted there with open arms?

Built the walls to hide behind
Now I'm bouncing 'round inside
Like an echo
Seeing life with sheltered eyes
As the world goes passing by
Like an echo
I'm gonna climb out of this cave into the light
I'm gonna climb out of this cave into the light
I'm gonna climb out of this cave into the light
I'm gonna climb out of this cave into the light
I'm gonna climb out of this cave into the light
I'm gonna climb out of this cave into the light
I'm gonna climb out of this cave into the light
I'm gonna climb out of this cave into the light
