I realized today that we live in a house without hope.
I want to be there for my family, but I don't know how to cope.
There are so many flowers growing in our yard,
But there isn't any sunshine in the winters of our heart.
I want to fix it all, but I don't know where to start.

Yeah, we learned to live without a father,
But never knew the full extent:
That our mother's heart was long absent.
We're all so broken, and we're all so bent.
God, oh God, we'd make a change if we at least knew HOW.
I never knew how much we needed You until now.

I see so many smiling faces
In all so many shining places,
And none of them have any clue
How deep the darkness gets.
