Living in the darkness, I realize I need the light
to help me as I walk down the troubles of my life
I have been blinded for so long, letting the darkness take over me
but now I realize the reasons and know what god wants me to see
So now I pick myself from my fall, and dry away the tears
I'm going to stop holding on to all those dreadful years
I will start my life anew and bury my pain in the dirt
and accept everything good so I will never again be hurt
I will release myself from my prison, where hate shouts out in glee
No longer will he get the satisfaction of taking over me
His presence does so linger around everyone here on earth
and I know that its his goal to make sure we feel hurt
But that is no longer me, the hate I push aside
And replace it with the good and use that as my pride
so I turn on the switch that lightens up life
and promise to succeed on everything thats right
