I was stuck at the bottom of a well, looking up
Grating my hands across the damp walls, in futility they got cut
I had never felt such humility in all my life, the hurt and the price I would pay for trying to find the water in the first place
Then it came to me, and I came to see, gave one last desperate plea
Because the circle of light at the top grew darker but never extinguished
And I thought of all you'd been through, and through those thoughts I came to
The realization I wasn't finished, oh no my time had just begun
Because I can only imagine how you recovered, kept the faith and held the brightness of life inside your smile
Even when so many people acted vile and tried to rip your soul away
And if you never gave up, I'd be ****** if I died in that well
I'd be ****** if I didn't fight through the fires of my own hell
I felt God then, and from his hand I drank the water I so desperately needed
I tore at the walls with my soul until my own hell was quelled and defeated
Then, as I lay gasping, hanging over the lip of the pit that had taken so much of my blood and spit
I raised my eyes to the sky, because I refused to die, and and angel came down and soothed all my scars
That angel, well she looked so very much like you, the life inside her smile was one and the same
As the life we had fought for, the life I had seen in you
The grass was green, the dew was clear, the moon was bright and there was no fear
Inside my heart, anymore, no all I had left was love
The love I still have for you
