For so many years
she battled with the beast
her body was tortured
her own heart was his feast

She was locked for so long
inside her own hell
but she was the only one
who had the key to the cell

Like a ghost in the night
she emerges from pain
Lost for so long
her strength she regains

She found power in writing
her demons they fled
the beast screamed in horror
she watched as he bled

She dances with liberty
This Lady is Free!
No more tortured nights...
the devil has finally let her be

Be free gentle Belle
And share with us your words
Show us with your heart
The songs that you have heard. . .

A tale of freedom. . . sometimes, we alone hold the key. . .
