Open The Box - A A J Russe

On the way back
From the party
Someone told me
What you’d said
They were worried
That’s why I’m here

Of course I know how
You were injured
You’ve been hurting
Since the fall
You’ve been frightened
And that’s why I’m here

Open the box
Take a look inside
Open the box
That’s why I’m here

They say keep it
In the family
That’s what
People say
But people scare you
And that’s why I’m here

Look at my life
Just as broken
But I’m
Not afraid
Take my hand
That’s why I’m here

Open the box
Take a look inside
Open the box
That’s why I’m here

If you step out
Into the bright light
You will find
That your chains
Are made of paper
That’s why I’m here

Open the box
Take that long look inside
Open the box
That’s why I’m here
