I know that
you fire has dulled
The flame so bright
has suddenly gone cold
I know that it
feels like there's no way out
That the walls close in
and silence steals your shouts
I know that it's
come to beat you down
This wall of despair
threatens to make you drown
And I know that
you can't see a way
To hold your head high
and trust in the sun's rays
But I promise
That everything will change
Your fire is only dull
the sticks must rearrange
I promise that
the bars will be replaced
Just as soon as you stand
and the fears have all been faced
I promise that
you're not alone
We're all right here
from love you've sewn
I promise that
you won't just fall
I'll lift you up
just give me the call
But I promise most
that the winds will turn
And from all of this,
all this pain you will learn
And we'll look back
ages from this day
With our hearts complete
in every right way
And we'll smile at these times
because they set us free
They open the cages
and put in our hands the key
One day ages from now
I promise you you'll smile
You'll look back at this mountain
and thank god for every mile
For every mile makes you stronger
let's you see who you truly are
And when the wind changes
your wings will take you far
This isn't the end
the pain won't last forever
I'm right here beside you
let's put your heart back together
