I never knew I was filled with a light
Until the darkness became my home
A dawning day in the black of night
Where pain and regret and fear call home

But I made a choice to react with love
Not following the path the darkness led
A gift that is given from up above
Creating new life where once was death

Because there is freedom in the fall
When your fears are realized
Creating love from the chaos of it all
The choice was mine to decide

Light of day and dark of night
Together they both play a part
In my heart, there’s a shining light
Illuminating beauty in the dark

The water is a dangerous mirror.
Under a chaotic wind swept surface
I see myself, almost formless;
Clinging to old memories
like a drowning man
clings to the hope for air.

you look through the beauty inside
you look through the beauty outside
but you don't know the beauty of pain
