Once the well has been primed
Once you have done your time
Once you have given your all
Once you have withstood the storm
Once you catch your breath
Once your bones have mended
Once your wounds have closed
Once you have gone from pieces to whole
Once your tears have dried from crying
Once you have taken along look around
Once everything you love is gone
Once the humiliation has passed on
Once there is not one piece of your heart to break
Once the pain has subsided
Once the shame is no longer shameful
Once the guilt is no longer blameful
You go on, you go on, and you go on
Once you’ve gone further than you have
Ever gone before you go on, you go on and you go on
