Before It's Too Late
May 11, 2009
Just run and hide
Before it’s too late
Too late to run back
Too late to hope you’ll get through
Too late to realize your mistake
Praying the world will change in your favor
To be on your side
To fight for you
Instead of the enemy
You crave protection
Shelter
You pray for love
But receive hate
And rejection
You try to listen
To their words
But everything’s fuzz
A dirty window
You try to clear it away
Or open it
But the murk goes on forever
And the window is locked
Trapped and begging for mercy
And hoping someone will find you
Before it’s too late
