I Will Continue To Dance In The Sun.

I won't hide in the dark depths of your dark mind;

Call me crazy,

Call me insane,

Call me what you like.

I raise my head proud above your lies,

I don't need to hear your alibis.

I will dance in the morning sun,

For my life has just begun,

You can twist and bend your mind,

For the truth came out in the end.

I am at peace in my own life,

I won't allow you to hurt me,

With your verbal knife.

I won't hide in the depths of your dark mind,

And I will no longer allow your cruelty to destroy

me.

I will continue to dance in the sun;

While you continue to dance,

In the depths of your dark mind,

My life has just begun.
