The Lake Inside Her Mind Verse 1 She sat upon a weathered swing, Cold iron chains beneath her hands, A quiet lake was breathing slow Against the silver shore of sand. White clouds were hanging low enough To kiss the water, pale and wide, And distant birds kept time like bells For all the storms she held inside. Pre-Chorus The world was still, the sky was kind, But nothing stayed still in her mind. Chorus There was a lake inside her memory, A thousand waves she could not name, A room of shadows, doors half-open, Old photographs without a frame. She searched for one forgotten moment, One page that might explain the pain, But every answer turned to thunder In the middle of the rain. Verse 2 The chains were creaking soft and low, The water whispered near her feet, Yet every sound became a voice Of days she never could repeat. She turned the pages of her past Like someone lost inside a book, But every line was blurred by tears She never gave herself to look. Pre-Chorus The lake was calm, the clouds were white, But hurricanes were out of sight. Chorus There was a lake inside her memory, A thousand waves she could not name, A room of shadows, doors half-open, Old photographs without a frame. She searched for one forgotten moment, One page that might explain the pain, But every answer turned to thunder In the middle of the rain. Bridge Then suddenly—a sharp horn cried, And broke the dream in two, Her hands were gripping steering wheels, The road came back in view. No swing, no shore, no silver birds, No clouds upon the sea— Only the hospital ahead, And all that waited painfully. Final Chorus There was a lake inside her memory, But now the road was running fast, Toward a room where love was fading, Toward a goodbye too deep to ask. She drove through tears and trembling silence, With every mile a whispered prayer: “Mother, hold on just a little… I am coming, I am there.” Outro And somewhere far behind the glass, The lake kept breathing, soft and blue— A quiet place her heart escaped to Before the final truth came through.
