Revised from the song "House of the rising Son" by Don Wabi...xoI wore a ball and chain for many a yearsnever to mention the shame .The bruises were there and hidden along withthe psychological pain as I wore a ball and chain.In secrecy and humility the type you do not want I wear the scars from many a years ,wearing that ball and chain. A mother who loves her children she will do what has to be done ,break the bonds of control and domination and cut that ball and chain.Life is much more free now and happiness does prevail ,I am stronger thana iron and chain .There are no shame or bruises now the secrecy has gone and I'll hold my head up high now and not live a life of pain .I will tell the story and help to free others who have a ball and chain.
Today I found a friend, Who knew everything I felt. She knew my every weakness, And the problems I've been dealt. She understood my wonders, And listened to my dreams. She listened to how I felt about life and love, And knew what it all means. Not once did she interrupt me, Or tell me I was wrong. She understood what I was going through, And promised she'd stay long I reached out to this friend To show her that I care To pull her close and let her know How much I need her there I went to hold her hand To pull her a bit nearer And realized that this perfect friend I found Was nothing but my mirror
