sabrina davies - Beneath a Mountain

Beneath my skin
There's one person
Who is alone
Shy, sweet, and helpful

Disappointed of what
She has become
Bad, mean, and a hateful person

Hate, hate, hate,
That's all she thinks
Down a mountain
She's trying to make herself up
Slipping down while making herself up
Doing everything she can
To go up the mountain

A storm purring down
No confidence; it is too late
Thinking of all the wrong
Lighting and thunder
She can't do it

Hoping and praying
To get to the top
She made it to the top
Did she make it
Down beneath

Yes, now no longer
Bad, evil, and hateful
She has become the person beneath

There's no longer a storm
It's like a blazing summer
Nothing but a strong bright girl
Yeah! Yeah! Yeah!
She did it!
She realized she's no longer
A 'she' - she's now an 'I'
I am a strong person
I am not a bad, mean, and hateful person
I am a strong, sweet, helpful person.
