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"ve died. All that's left is to accept that it's over. My dreams ran like sand through the fist that I made. I try to keep warm, but I just grow 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.  I'll see how You brought beauty from ashes, and made me like gold purified through these flames.
