I remember when I met you, sitting across the table at a facility
That was supposed to cure us of our ills, clean up our lives and spills
It was a place so many hated, but back then it meant so much to me
Neither of us could see much beyond the pain of the past
Though the rays of hope did their best to shine through the glass
Glass that was cracked and shattered and smeared with black
But sitting in that room that day, I swear I can say now
That I saw a ray glance across your face
It wasn't the last time I would see it in that place
And even if we have grown apart since then
Gone back home to answer for all of our sins
I don't ever want you to forget that hope had touched you once, and        can touch you again
Don't lose faith, gather strength from the fact
That all times, good and bad, will pass
And though you hope that the pain won't last
Remember every scar you've gathered along the way
Is just one more piece of proof that you're alive for another day
And it's okay, yes it's alright, to fight through the dark times
Because you'll find another ray of hope as long as the sun shines
