Tame the beast

There's a little girl outside

who want to go home

she can't find the way

everybody says 'no'

that's what it sounds like when your heart

can never mend

and you're not you're friend

I cannot pretend on, anymore ....

And is there no one ?

is there really no one ?

oh, it's up to no one

to save me now

Feels like there's no one

In 'takes one to know one'

Something high above's gotta show me how ...

Oh, hold me down

When I cannot see

When I'm running up and down the breeze

I am strong

even when weak

and though I long

to tame the beast ...

and even simple things are now

so hard to get done

nothing is the same

I can't battle down this lane ..

and what the battleground has done..

and now this pain

that won't go away

and washing with the ice

will never pay ...

and is there no one

is there really no one

oh it's up to no one

to mend my bones ...

feels like there's no one

in 'takes one to know one'

something high above's gotta show me

home ....

Oh, hold me down

When I cannot see

When I'm running up and down the breeze

I am strong

even when weak

and though I long

to tame the beast

not shame the beast

and on to love

what's part of me ...

ohhh

oohh

......

I'm on my own now

sailing in the cold now

my hope in somehow

living for a dream

and through the dark now

shining waters allow

that on my own bow

I can be a Queen ...

oh ...

hold me down.
