The Great Escape from The Devil's Hell

They have you,
They hold you in their arms,
Not by choice,
but by a forceful hold.

When I think on them,
Their faces are monstrous.
Their hold binds you
To a loveless life you wish not to lead.
They have taken your dreams
Told you visions can never become reality.
They have taken your spirit
Told you not to believe
In a different kind of dream.

It is a different world
In which you live.
A different way of thinking.
I dream a dream differed
Even when fear takes hold.

Mine have told me
To dream
Mine have told me
To make dreams become truthful reality.
They have taught me
To see the spirit of life,
Venture forth to greet its happy face
With a matched pair
Of hope and faith

What lies have these mortals told
That you would think
You could not break this alleged hold?
Strength is fading;
I see it in your eyes.
But do you not know?
Do you not see?

Moses began to lose his strength
In a story lost
inside a desert
by a sea.

His arms grew tired
as the day grew long,
But those who loved him,
And those who cared
Stood by the man
Held his arms up in the air
When Moses was no longer strong.

He lost the strength
To bare this weight
But his companions stood fast
Giving this Moses a way
To press on to the light of another day.

Let us be your support
When your arms grow tired from the weight.
Let us be there
To help you along the way.

Have you not heard?
Have you not seen?
Others can too see your forgotten dreams!

While some others may not see
The wonderful woman
You are growing to be,
Others can view
The woman you really are.
The woman you continue
To grow into.

There are those,
Who love you
For who you are
And wish to help you
On this,
Your new start.

Pride is a downfall
When it hinders your plans.
Letting others hold your arms up
Is not weakness,
But takes more than the strength
Of one thousand men.

You are not alone
In this battle you fight.
This hold they have
Does have an end in sight.

Let us love you,
Let us help,
Let us be there
When life goes to hell.

When you have those
Who would stand
Through dust storms
And break through
The emotional dams,
You are then truly free of tyranny.

And when what you once knew
Has now been transformed
Freedom will ring,
And the true you
Will be re-born.

Do you not know?
Can you not see?
When you have love
On your side,
And friends standing by,
The Devil's hellish nightmare
Can no longer be.
