Beauty from the pain

The lights go out all around me...One last candle to keep out the night and then the darkness surrounds me...
I know I'm alive, but I feel like I died
And all that's left is to accept that it's over
My dreams ran like sand through the fists that I made
I try to keep warm but I just grown colder
I feel like I'm slipping away

My whole world is the pain inside me
The best I can do is just get through the day
When life before is only a memory
I wonder why God lets me walk through this place
And though I can't understand why this happened
I know that I will when I look back someday
And see how you've brought beauty from ashes
And made me as gold purified through these flames

Here I am at the end of me, trying to hold to what I can't see
I forgot how to hope, this night's been so long
I cling to your promise, there will be a dawn

After all this has passed, I still will remain
After I've cried my last, there will be beauty from pain
Though it won't be today...Someday I'll hope again
And there will be beauty from pain and you'll bring beauty from my pain
