The lights go out all around me One last candle to keep out the night And then the darkness surrounds me I know I'm alive But I feel like I've died And all that's left is to accept that it's over My dreams ran like sand through the fists that I made I try to keep warm but I just grow colder I feel like I'm slipping away After all this has passed I still will remain After I've cried my last There'll be beauty from pain Though it won't be today Someday I'll hope again And there'll be beauty from pain You will bring beauty from my pain My whole world is the pain inside me The best I can do is just get through the day When life before is only a memory I wonder why God let me walk through this place And though I can't understand why this happened I know that I will when I look back someday And see how You've brought beauty from ashes And made me as gold purified through these flames Here and I am at the end of me (at the end of me) Trying to hold to what I can't see I forgot how to hope This night's been so long I cling to your promise there will be a dawn I love these lyrics, and they reminded me so much of myself today. It was the worst day I’ve had since coming home, and I am not sure how to describe it. On the outside everything was fine, but on the inside? I felt so lonely, I felt like the darkness of loneliness was invading my very soul. But I know that once the pain fades, I will still be here, no matter what shape I’m in, because I know that there is a dawn somewhere out there for me. Whether it is a dawn of a career, or friendship, I know that there is a reason I am being passed through this flame. And it will all pay off. And There’ll be beauty from pain.
