CHILD, come out into the light

no need to walk the rope so tight

no need to cower in the shame

you were not the one to blame

***

all that happened to you is gone from sight

dispel the fear out into the night

choose the life before you now

we love you still and before you bow

***

for deep within no seed of strife

for deep within is the Quiet of Life

you are safe now, you can begin

from this moment on, raise your chin
