lyrics

It was the tall, dark man on the other side of the glass that frightened him the most. He'd stand and stare and bring him down; holding him back, constantly telling him that he wasn't good enough. Judging his every move and attacking every word.

The tall, dark man had a way of targeting his insecurities. He knew just the right words to say at just the right moment to stop any forward progress or quell any ideas of achievement. He had been followed around by this looming figure his entire life - since the day he learned to speak. And there was nothing that could lead him to believe that the man would ever go away.

But then a woman came along and silenced the tall, dark man. She whispered in his ear that he needn't aim for amazing - only honesty - and with honesty comes greatness. She told him to embrace his fears. She told him to find strength in the tall, man and to turn his judgment into encouragement. She taught him that the tall, dark man was not something to fear, but instead he was there to support.

The words took years to digest, but as the truth of those words began to resonate he saw the beauty of the tall, dark man.

The woman took him by the hand and motioned him to join hands with the tall, dark man. Soon they all held hands together.

He undressed and he announced aloud, "I am not afraid of you anymore. I am not afraid of myself. You and I are one..."

The tall, dark man smiled and replied, "I've been waiting for you my entire life. I've been waiting for you to embrace me and allow me to walk with you. I can be your strength." He continued "You've never been alone. I have always been here waiting for you – waiting for you to ask me for help."

He stood quietly and looked at the tall, dark man as he looked back into his eyes. They could feel a connection between them growing stronger as they stood still in the moment.

The tall, dark man kneeled and said "I am always with you. Know that I am here. Know that I am your strength."

He spoke those words and the tall, dark man turned and walked away...
