Diamond In The Rough

Her eyes spoke a million words
Stories of the world she knew, and of hopes her heart held close
I know of the walls that pushed against her shoulders
And the hands of fear that blocked the warmth of the sun
She climbed trees to peek at how big the world really was
Only to see no one was there to catch her when the winds blew heavy
She held on tight to what she could
She did not fall

If she could, she would
Change the beat in the hearts of those she loves
If she could, she would not
Destroy the hearts of those who forgot to love

Her eyes speak a million words
Stories of the world she knows, and of dreams she holds close to her heart
She knows of the walls she has climbed and have broken down
And the hands of fear she will push away
Climb that tree!
I will be there to catch you
Hold on to me
It's okay to fall

If I could, I would
Take away all she has seen and did not feel
If I could, I would not
Change that Diamond in the rough
