Once In My Life

Once in my life I was afraid

You could not say anything worth believing

My ears were open, my eyes close

All things said I thought to be deceiving

My heart was crushed once

At that moment I became cold

I started living my life very cautiously

Fearing to feel and my fear grew bold

I wanted to be with many souls

I needed to have back up plans

I desired to experience it all

I was your “woman” but I had no “man”

I wanted the cares and attention

But hurt had me afraid from the start

I was crushed early in my life

Which placed a deep bruise on my heart

As I grew my way of thinking started to change

My eyes opened and I began to see

That being afraid hurt me more than taking chances

So I judge each one as individuals and enter each openly
There may be many souls to break my heart

But I allow every break to strengthen me

Because you’ll need my whole heart
To bond with my soul completely
