The Encounter

Like leaves on trees in fall, I'm shivering, I'm falling

Like the screams from a new born child

So innocent, so fragile, screaming, struggling, trying

Want to see what the future holds, this life in fear is no life at all



The will I had ain't strong enough

And the strength I seek ain't there

My world is dead, my future's broken

And it all stays the same



They're coming

They're coming here to stay

They're coming

They're taking me away



They're coming

They're coming here to stay

They're coming

They're taking me away



I beg for a helping hand

I'm reaching, I am searching, but no

And I pray for an ear that listens

My hope's washed away

I'm here alone



I hear them, they're coming

Quickly through the hallway

The door opens

Helpless again



The will I had ain't strong enough

The strength I seek ain't there

My world is dead, my future's broken

'Cause it all stays the same



They're coming, they're coming here to stay

They're coming, they're taking me away

They're coming only to leave me in shame

Simply leave me
