Anne-Lie Wall

I love the time and in between
The calm inside me
In this space where I can breathe
I believe there is a distance I have wandered to touch upon the years
Reaching out and reaching in
Holding out 
Holding in

I believe this is heaven to no one else but me
And I'll defend it long as I can be left here to linger in silence
If I chose to would you try to understand

Oh 
The quiet child awaits the day when she can break free
The mold that clings like desperation
Oh 
Mother don't you see I've got to live my life the way I feel is right for me
Say it's not right for you but it's right for me

I believe this is heaven to no one else but me
And I'll defend it long as I can be left here to linger in silence
If I chose to would you try to understand
