Divine

Once I was a beacon...I was a vision of light,
I saw everything in wonder and amazing was the sight,
I was innocent and arrogant,
Everything would always be all right,
Like an angel before the fall ;

Once I was trusting...I walked forth into my life,
I did radiate the peace and hope and thought the world was mine,
Majestic in my pride and unaware of the lies…
Of those I walked behind,
Now I finally understand it all ;

One day I stumbled...I lost my way...I lost my faith,
When I realized I was empty and alone...
It had long since faded away,
I saw only grief and despair,
It consumed my life…
And left a shadow in its place,
Too broken to move on ;

So I stood and waited...I waited for answers,
What have I done wrong...where do I belong...
Where has everybody gone,
I stared into the sky...into the endless night...
Do I turn left or do I turn right,
Transfixed in a heart of stone ;

So they found me standing at the crossroads,
Looking to the path that lay before me,
Pulled by the one that lay behind me...
Tell me which way do I go ;

They found me crying at the crossroads,
The confusion of the "maybe I was wrong",
Has kept me standing so still for far too long,
Afraid to walk this road alone ;

Then angels appear before me...
Reaching out to hold me,
Their eyes holding nothing harsh...
Nothing dark to scold me,
As their tears wash away those things that torment me,
I finally knew where I had went wrong ;

I looked outside my heart...
Let the world mold me,
Let the anger wound me...
Let the pain confuse me,
When I held the question to my heartbreak all along,
Now I stand beyond...
Behold I am strong ;

For I am not what has happened to me,
I am the light that shines through me,
I am the phoenix flight...burned by life I will rise,
I unleash the dream and prophecy...
He lives through me...
And I am free ;

For I am divine,
No sun shines beyond the scope of my eyes,
No angels fly beyond the realm of my smile,
No moon will rise beyond the horizon of my mind,
A supernatural design ;

For I am divine,
No fear could hide within this heart of mine,
No hate could stain this hope that love is alive,
No pain could break this spirit,
This soul will survive,

A supernatural light :
