First Cut

The first cut
Went so deeply
Scar left no trace
Won’t show my vulnerability
Just my stony face

I’m imprisoned
Isolated
In this lonely place
The only thing
I have left now
Is your beauty and faith

The first cut
Went so deeply
Scar left no trace
Won’t show my sensitivity
Just my lonely face

I’m accused
Then convicted
For hiding in the dark
Mitigation
Being lonely
And a broken heart

Can’t you
Hear my cries?
Won’t you
Understand?

Will you
Kiss my eyes?
Won’t you
Take my hand?

I can
Hear your cries
And I do
Understand

I will
Kiss your eyes
And I will
Take your hand

The first cut
Went so deeply
Scars left no trace
Won’t show our vulnerability
Just a smiling face

We’re imprisoned
Isolated
In our lonely state
The only thing
We have left now
Is our beauty and faith

Can’t we
Hear those cries?
Don’t we
Understand?

Will we
Open our eyes?
Can we
All link hands?

Yes, we can
Hear your cries
And we do
Understand

Yes, I will
Kiss your eyes
And I will
Take your hand…

And I will
Take your hand…
