Buried Alive
(Linda Bonadies)
BURIED ALIVE
Did you let somebody tell you who you are
You didn't trust yourself, it’s tearing you apart
Out of control you feel like a puppet on a string
Goin’ through motions and it doesn’t mean a thing
Did you let somebody tell you what to be
You’re all locked up inside and you can’t find the key
Their expectations feel like an anchor on a chain
You really fooled yourself and there’s no one left to blame
This is an emergency ‘cause you’re buried alive
Need a search and rescue for your voice down inside
Deep in the dark of your cave
Your heart must find it’s own way
Don’t let your life slip away
Did you let somebody tell you what to do
Can you live your life followin’ their cues
Your spirit’s broken like a lion that’s been tamed
You live where nothin’s lost and nothing can be gained
And did you let someone tell you what to say
You sold your voice and your soul withered away
You run, you hide, afraid and so tired
Too numb to cry, You lost your fire
This is an emergency ‘cause you’re buried alive
Need a search and rescue for your voice down inside
Deep in the dark of your cave
Your heart must find it’s own way
You lost your grip, you slipped and
Fell into a hole that’s huge
You’re so scared you can hardly move
Now will this cave become your grave
You alone yourself must save
The light is dim
The air is thin
The walls are slowly cavin’ in
This is an emergency ‘cause you’re buried alive
Need a search and rescue for your voice down inside
Don’t lose heart, don’t lose faith
You can make it it’s not too late
Only one way to break free
Trust in your heart and then in yourself you must BELIEVE
Deep in the dark of your cave
Your heart must find it’s own way
Don’t let your life slip away
