Locked Up Secret  by Michael Ray Walker

I’ve been waiting far too long.
holding it all in as if nothing were wrong
I’ve been waiting far too long
for this very night

I’ve been keeping way too calm
Blocking it all out like
I don’t remember
I’ve been holding it all back
for this moment in time.

But it all floods out like a broken dam
and it’s time to be true to who I am
It’s time to open my eyes

I can’t keep it locked up secret
Hidden in darkness
Held hostage by my pride
It’s time to open my eyes.

And I can’t keep it locked up secret
Buried treasure
Waiting to be found
Time to open my eyes

I’ve been hearing it all wrong.
Creating diversions
compiling excuses
I’ve been waiting far too long
For my light to shine

Time for forgiveness
Time for creation
Time to set the wheels in motion
Time for expression
Time for ignition
Time to Break free
