Miranda Lee Richards - It was given

[Verse]
She grew up in a nice big house
The walls were thick you could run about
It was given
White birds flew threw the thunderstorm
She was taught to fear nothing, and given a ribbon
To tie in her hair
And stone’s throw was all she could spare
A weakness took over that made her aware
Trouble descended on the tiny town
Unspeakable crimes and events began to happen
Reputations were ruined
Viewing each other through untrusting eyes
Everyone suspect even the children
With their angelic stares
And the rain continued to fall
She buttoned her petticoat up and stood tall
War began brewing in the countryside
Paranoia it spread, it was man’s poison
They passed the cup
Accounts traveled by word of mouth
Events conspired real or imagined
The situation worsened
The crows watched the scene from their perch on a wire
Hoping the contrast would birth a new desire
When Lady Peace finally answered her call
The horror subsided, and the cloud of fear was lifted
No one ever convicted
The willows rested their branches
The sheep grazed in silence on a little plot of Heaven
The souls had risen
And the birds resumed their beautiful song
And the ghosts began to right all their wrongs
Time, the great healer, softened the ground
History righted itself through future generations
The legacy forgotten
A fine white snow covered the land
All clues and signs of the past remained hidden
All was forgiven
She said I hear the clock ticking twice
Transforming shards of darkness into light
Murals in the street showing scenes from their lives
Grateful for being born in another time
Ooooh...ooohhh...aaahhhhh
Ooooh...ooohhh...aaahhhhh
