Story Behind The Song
I wrote this song for my sister, wanting to encourage her to push the past's pain and see the beauty that lays deep inside. Using our pain to grow and get better is a powerful life circumstance that everyone can relate to. The dramatic nature of the music helps shore up the sentiment, balancing it with beautiful structure and substance.
Song Description
This is a song about healing from a something that happened in the past, maybe as far back as childhood.
At first it suggests that the person may be returning to old patterns of retreat, but the song turns in a hopeful direction in the chorus, encouraging the person to rise above the sadness and use it to get better.

Lyrics
Here I go again,
locking closet doors
Harboring the shame of your child's play
No where to run,
no where to hide
No where to go, no where to go
All dressed up to live, wondering how to know
Whether to forgive when the bough's broken
No where to run,
no where to hide
No where to go, ain't no where to go
So I softly,
slowly open my eyes
To all the beauty buried so deep inside
Rising from my Mourning Lullabye
Rock a bye anew,
I been cradling the hope
And I understand the blues are gonna get me,
Gonna get me through
No where to run,
now where to hide
Now that I know
So I softly,
slowly open my eyes
To all the beauty buried so deep inside
Rising from my Mourning Lullabye
