in every darkness there's a light
a reason to go on, continue to fight
it's always hope that pulls us through
when we paint the world different shades of blue
sometimes bitter words on the soul can leave a stain
but you can't know love if you've never known pain
you never feel whole until you've been broken
by actions of others or words unspoken
there's no balance to life if you've never known regret
and piecing the puzzle together, why try to forget
that every path you've taken has led you here
and it's a choice to live in happiness or fear
never be a victim to your own circumstances
because life is always full of second chances
new beginnings and new days will come
are you standing in the shadows or out in the sun
this moment, love it with your all
you can rise again, after any fall
in every darkness there's a light
a reason to go on, continue to fight
