After All Is Said And Done

Artist: Beyoncé & Marc Nelson
Song Title: After All Is Said And Done


[Beyoncé]
Here I am looking in the mirror
An open face, the pain erased
Now the sky is clearer, I can see the sun
Now that all is, all is said and done, oh

[Marc]
There you are, always strong when I need you
You let me give and now I live
Fearless and protected with the one I will love
After all is, all is said and done

[Beyoncé] (Marc)
I once believed that hearts were made to bleed
(Inside I once believed that hearts were made to bleed, oh baby)
But now I'm not afraid to say

[Beyoncé & Marc]
I need you, I need you so stay with me

[Beyoncé] (Marc)
These precious (precious) hours (yeah)
Greet each dawn in open arms
And dream, into tomorrow

[Beyoncé & Marc]
Where there's only love
After all is, all is said and done

[Beyoncé] (Marc)
(Yeah baby) Oh baby
(Inside I once believed, that hearts were meant to bleed)

[Beyoncé & Marc] (Marc)
(I'll never)
I'll never be afraid to say
I need you, I need you, so here

[Beyoncé]
Here we are in the still of this moment
Fear is gone, hope lives on

[Beyoncé & Marc] (Beyoncé)
We found our happy ending
For there's only love (only love)
And this sweet, sweet love
After all is, all is said and done

[Marc] (Beyoncé)
Yeah baby after all is (all is)

[Marc & Beyoncé]
All is said and done


All is said and done. And now that it is, I finally see the persons behind the veils. The real personalities that hid behind fake, smiling PR faces. Pretty words that masked the true characters that lay dormant till the day I chose to walk beyond the cover of our oneness. Till the day I chose a different path. One that didn't include them.

"I once believed that hearts were made to bleed"

I was naive once. I thought that this was what it was like. And that I had no choice in the matter. That I was made to bleed and to wear the stains of my blood with a smile. But today, I see that the pain I bore wasn't as worth it as I thought it was all along. And now, after having opened up and coming clean, I know that I can look myself in the mirror and see that what I did was right. And I know that after all this, I'll see the sun again. Because today, I see it all. And today, after all is done, the sky is clearer.

"Here I am looking in the mirror
An open face, the pain erased
Now the sky is clearer, I can see the sun
Now that all is, all is said and done, oh"

To the people who believed (and still do believe) in me, you have my love and gratitude. To you who supported me in my decision... and also in my many months of indecisiveness. (You know who you are.) You mean the world to me. Thanks for always being there. For always keeping me in prayer. And for always being just a call or an sms away. I know it's been tough on you, too.

"There you are, always strong when I need you
You let me give and now I live
Fearless and protected with the one I will love
After all is, all is said and done"

So what I have now is time to embrace whatever's left to gain in this experience. No more pain, no more heartache, no more sorrow. Just frustration that's here today and gone tomorrow. Cos tomorrow, there's hope. There's life. There's happiness.

"Here we are in the still of this moment
Fear is gone, hope lives on"


No fears. No regrets. Just a future with a promise.
Here's to all things new. =)
