I'm ready to break out of this cloud
I've been under
It's been long enough
Making people start to wonder
What happened to that girl
With her face in the sun?
Hiding under a cloud
Feeling lost and alone.
It's been a long road
These last several years
First losing my Dad
And I couldn't cry the tears
My mom needed me so much
She was sick and I nurtured
Til it took me and my girls
All we had and it wasn't enough
I watched her battle
With her health everyday
Strong til the end
Laughing all the way
I've faced so many decisions
That pulled at my heart
That it numbed me almost
And pulled me apart
It's been almost a year
And the numbness is gone
I just miss them both so much
Feeling lost and alone
Life can be bittersweet
With it's loss and it's pain
But the joy of living
Will always remain
We must keep our eyes open
So our vision is clear
And see our way through the clouds
With hope, love, and no more tears.
