Locked away within my soul
Are tales of a life once strong and bold
With hopes for tomorrow a need for a fresh start
Lie patiently awaiting deep within a desperate heart

Only needing a friend to help me forget
To live for tomorrow with no regret
To reach out a hand to those in need
With no anger, remorse, gain or greed

Until that day my soul stays locked away
All I can do is bow my head to pray
Dear Heavenly Father in the sky above
Show me the way to live and to love

Open my heart as it use to be
Wash away all my pain, let my spirit be free
As my tears fall in the dark of the night
Give me the strength to do whatever is right

Until the day comes when I can no longer bare
I'll stay locked away knowing you are there.
