Red writing


from the ABC set Old lyric sheets

A form of moral awareness has seeked me out
It found me cold and depressed with a heart of iron
Once it gripped hold it began to unra\/el me
In order to make me well
It emotionally reset me, presented to me my childhood
A life that i had li\/ed but denied my own lo\/e
And now it seeks a higher order
A mirror an acquirement of new \/anity
In order that I can see myself as I am percie\/ed by others
Learn to lo\/e yourself
Then and only then,
Can you truly lo\/e another
