Underneath

6am she shuffles to the kitchen
She reaches for the coffee half asleep
She rubs her arms and then she turns to listen
To the silence
That runs so very deep

Oooooo Oooooo Oooooo
Oooooo Oooooo Oooooo

She whispers a tiny little prayer
To someone somewhere way up there
She scrolls up through the photos
Of her kids on her phone
And she daydreams of the days
When they were all home

Underneath Underneath
Are words she's never spoken
Underneath Underneath
She's holding back the tears

She never tells them
If they ask her what's wrong
She needs to let them
Always see her as strong
Oh the battle scars
They run so deep
A reminder of how she's come to be

Underneath Underneath
There's a heart that's broken
Underneath Underneath
There's a quiet fear
Underneath are words she's never spoken
Underneath she's holding back the tears

The sun breaks through the dark and rain
She's back from all this crushing pain
She takes a deep breath counts to 10
She comes back up for air again
The sun breaks through the dark and rain
She's back from all this crushing pain
She takes a deep breath counts to 10
She comes back up for air again

She can forgive but not forget
An angel came to her and said
You're not finished yet
Though these scars are not your choice
You are here still for those without a voice

Underneath Underneath
There's a heart that's broken
Underneath Underneath
There's a quiet fear
Underneath Underneath
Are words she's never spoken
Underneath Underneath
She's holding back the tears
