Forward Child (Rock Version)

The sky was empty, dark and cold A world of stone, no love to hold
A demon rose, three heads aflame Whispering lies, calling my name
I ran afraid, with nowhere to hide But still you called from the other side
My fear was strong, my strength was small But then I heard your voice above it all

Do not be afraid, I am with you Child, don't turn away, I'll see you through
When the darkness roars and the night is wild I'll say it again, forward child
It spit out fire, it screamed my shame You'll never be enough, you'll wear these chains
But you spoke truth and broke the lies I saw the fury fade from its eyes

Every step I took, it fell apart The ashes burned, but you healed my heart
The child I lost, was waiting still She held my face and whispered, now be still
Do not be afraid, I am with you Child, don't turn away, I'll see you through
When the darkness roars and the night is wild I'll say it again, forward child

The lies can't bind you, fear can't stay The demon fades as the light breaks day
Your chains are gone, your shame set free The voice of love is your victory
Do not be afraid, I am with you Child, don't turn away, I'll see you through
When the darkness roars and the night is wild I'll say it again, forward child

And when the battle is finally done You'll stand the light forgiven one
With a trembling voice, with a tearful smile You'll say the words, it is done my child
