As i lay my head down everynight to sleep
i quietly listen to every heart beat
i hear the cries of innocence lost
i hear the screams of hopes and dreams tossed
the tears from inside flow heavy with grief
yet all the pain in me cant sigh with relief
and some how i awake the next day with life
still in my heart, im still alive
as my day begins, i wonder how
i come home each night
and with a pillow lay down
then i enter the presence of the sun
with it's great might, i welcome its love
and while i am thinking of all my losses and misses
the sun reaches down and spreads out its kisses
my tears stained face, so contorted with pain
somehow finds away to smile again.
