A spark soaring down through the pouring rain
And restoring life to the light house
A slow-motion wave on the ocean
Stirs my emotion up like a rain cloud
When did the sky turn black?
And when will the light come back?
A cab driver turned to skydiver then to survivor
Dying to break down
A blood brother, surrogate mother, hugging each other
Crying their eyes out
When did the sky turn black?
And when will the light come back?
I'm ecstatic like a drug addict
Locked in the attic
Strung out and spellbound
I fought all through the night
Oh-oh, but I made it alive!
The sun is starting to rise
Oh-oh, these are beautiful times!
This fight of my life is so hard, so hard, so hard
But I'm gonna survive
Oh-oh, these are beautiful times
A bad feeling burned through the ceiling
Leaving my healing heart with a new scar
A dead fire rose and rose higher
Like a vampire, up from the graveyard
When did the sky turn black?
And when will the light come back?
We all suffer but we recover
Just to discover life where we all are
I fought all through the night
Oh-oh, but I made it alive!
The sun is starting to rise
Oh-oh, these are beautiful times!
This fight of my life is so hard, so hard, so hard
But I'm gonna survive
Oh-oh, these are beautiful times
This fight of my life is so hard, so hard, so hard
But I'm gonna survive
Oh-oh, these are beautiful times
My heart's burning bad
And it's turning black
But I'm learning
How to be stronger
And sincerely, I love you dearly
Oh, but I'm clearly destined to wonder
