the bars slowly open

heavy footsteps coming close

i hide my tears

i bury my face in my knees

i want no more pain

i want my family again

big arms wrap around me

they hold me tight

i'm picked up

and held tight

heavy footsteps take me out the cell

out the glass door

into the cold winds

to a car

warm and cozy

i'm still in his arms

he tells me to show my eyes

but i'm afraid

afraid i'll break down and cry

he tells me i'm strong

he says it'ill be alright

even though i wont show my eyes

he brings me close

he says

i'm here

that's all i need to know as i fall

into a dreamless sleep

in his arms

his voice still echoes in my head

i'm here
