Stephanie Sammons - Year of the Dog

“Year of the Dog”
© 2023 Stephanie Sammons / Publishing PRO (BMI)


I was born in the month of December
In the Year of the Dog
I love without condition
Dedicated to a fault

You took me in, you taught me well
You took me out of my living hell
In the dark, I was seeking the truth
I saw the light in you

Now is my love in vain?
You’ve got me chained up chained up
I’m trapped in a prison of shame
You’ve got me chained up chained up

I was baptized in the river
In the year of the dog
I’ve walked through the shadow of death
I thought you could save me

You took me in, you taught me well
You took me out of my living hell
I have obeyed your every command
You fed me hope from the palm of your hand
