Running through darkness in an unknown place
Engaged in what may be a life or death race
Escaping from memories, from hurt, from guilt
Breaking out of the labyrinth my heart has built
Somewhere in this place I know you’re there
I’ve searched most my life, but can’t find where
Gradually a light begins to appear
Now I know that i must be near
Quickening, I let my lonely search continue
I’ve nearly finished, surely it's not be true
After many trials and tears, I've found you
You take my hand, and you lead me through
Sweet dawn has finally risen on a lifelong night
You’ve lifted me up, gave me something worth a fight
It’s nice to feel the sun’s warmth on my skin
To wash of the stains of what had once been
Remaining are many scars left from before
And my heart has yet to fully restore
But with you I have faith, I can believe
There might really be a man who won’t deceive
Maybe you could rach out and rescue me
From a life that had once belonged to me
Make my heart feel what it’s longed to feel
Make me trust that what you say is real
A past is a hard thing for anyone to forget
But I know someday, I will overcome it
I’ll love like my spirit has never been broken
I’ll promise my heart will always be open
So give me just one chance
And I promise
to be your everything
