Somebody told me I'd be fine, Shook her head, smiled, and wiped off mine And so I saw the sight of strength, And heard the sounds of healing
I learned to read it like a sign; She was beside me, I was fine
Somebody told me it's alright, Each time a nightmare wrecked my night Then held me close, but not too tight, Till dreaming came upon me
Sometimes I think about those nights Safe in her arms, where I took flight And there were times I swore That our relation was a curse
And there were times that she Was just the worst, and angrily, We both crashed down, forgiveness helped me see A grain of comedy, in every tragedy
Somebody showed me with her soul Lack of perfection makes us whole
And when my dream arrived, She let me go for my desires She let me go so gently, Told me I would be ok, Now I for her can do the same Though I can't stop the tears that fall Into my smile today
I was a seed, now I'm a rose Stronger than any wind that blows And I'll go on, for I have always More to give, and this I know, 'Cuz somebody told me so
