LEO<br>

It's hard to speak my heart.<br>

I'm not a man who bares his soul.<br>

I let the moment pass me by - <br>

I stay where I am in control.<br>

I hide behind my work,<br>

Safe and sure of what to say:<br>

I know I must seem hard,<br>

I know I must seem: cold.<br>

I never touched that girl - <br>

You think I'd hurt a child, yes?<br>

I'd hardly seen her face before -<br>

I swear - I swore we'd barely met.<br>

These people try to scare you<br>

With things I've never said.<br>

I know it makes no sense.<br>

I swear I don't know why:<br>

You see me as I am - You can't believe I'd lie - <br>

You can't believe I'd do these deeds - <br>

A little man who's scared and blind,<br>

Too lost to find the words he needs.<br>

I never touched that child - <br>

God - I never raised my hand!<br>

I stand before you now:<br>

Incredibly afraid.<br>

I pray you understand.<br>
