I love the time and in between
the calm inside me
in the space where I can breathe
I believe there is a
distance I have wandered

to touch upon the years of
reaching out and reaching in
holding out holding in

I believe
this is heaven to no one else but me
and I'll defend it as long as I can be
left here to linger in silence
if I choose to
would you try to understand

Oh the quiet child awaits the day when she can break free
from all that clings like desperation
oh Mother don't you see I've got
to live my life the way I feel is right for me
you says is not right for you but it's right for me...

I believe...

this is heaven to no one else but me
and I'll defend it as long as
I can be left here to linger in silence
if I choose to
would you try to understand
