Tell me now,
What it is you desire
What your heart cries for,
Todaytonightthis very hour.
Be careful to be sure what you
desire is what you need.
Tell me now,
Of those secrets that lie deep within
Tell me about the ghosts that
live inside you mind
The ones even you refuse to see.
Tell me now,
The fears you so desperately try to hide,
Tell me of the images that make you quiver,
When they flash before your minds eye
Even when closedor worse yet when they
invade your sleep, running through your dreams.
Tell me now,
The pain you feel when love dances just out of reach,
Hiding behind trees in the parkin alleyways
And shadows in the streets.
Do you hear love calling to youonly for it to run
into the crowd as you approach with arms open ?
Tell me now,
Of the things youve never spoken
The feelings and thoughts youve never dared share
In fear you couldnt bear their ridicule,
Or the silence of being thought weird.
Tell me now,
Before I goa second chance may never come,
To meet someone as brave as me
Youll not tell me something I havent heard or seen,
From the voice of my mind,
Or the eyes of my soul
Youre safe with me.
