Michael Bennett!
It is a true honor to be standing here with you, Sarah
And to sing this song of survival with everyone in this place
Let's show them our strength
I watched the shadows take my world away
And leave me standing in the freezing gray
A silent house where no one calls my name
Just ashes falling from a dying flame
But while there's breath inside my weary lungs
This lonely story hasn't yet been sung
I turned around and every face was gone
A heavy night that wouldn't bring the dawn
The ones I loved all left me far behind
A quiet emptiness inside my mind
I felt the winter freezing up my heart
A broken kingdom falling all apart
The night is dark, the road is long
But I will turn my sorrow to a song
I lost my world, but I still have myself
I took my broken spirit off the shelf
I'll find the power in the lonely air
And overcome the weight of my despair
Oh, every single scar has made me strong
I'll raise my voice and find where I belong
But there's a beating deep inside my chest
A stubborn rhythm that refuses rest
It whispers that the spark will never fade
And gives me courage in the darkest shade
So let the hurricane come crashing through (I am)
I am not scared of what the storm can do (I am)
I will embrace the shadows in the room (I am)
And find the light to chase away the gloom, oh
I will survive it
I will revive it
I keep on tonight
I lost my world, but I still have myself
I took my broken spirit off the shelf
I'll find the power in the lonely air
And overcome the weight of my despair
Oh, every single scar has made me strong
I'll raise my voice and find where I belong
You take away the things I love the most
But I will never just become a ghost
My heart is wounded, but it beats for me
A steady rhythm of survival's plea
When all you have is ruins on the ground
You still have you
And that's a beautiful sound
It is a true honor
It is a true honor
It is a true honor to be standing here with you, Sarah
And to sing this song of survival with everyone in this place
Let's show them our strength
I watched the shadows take my world away
And leave me standing in the freezing gray
A silent house where no one calls my name
Just ashes falling from a dying flame
But while there's breath inside my weary lungs
This lonely story hasn't yet been sung
I turned around and every face was gone
A heavy night that wouldn't bring the dawn
The ones I loved all left me far behind
A quiet emptiness inside my mind
I felt the winter freezing up my heart
A broken kingdom falling all apart
The night is dark, the road is long
But I will turn my sorrow to a song
I lost my world, but I still have myself
I took my broken spirit off the shelf
I'll find the power in the lonely air
And overcome the weight of my despair
Oh, every single scar has made me strong
I'll raise my voice and find where I belong
You take away the things I love the most
But I will never just become a ghost
My heart is wounded, but it beats for me
A steady rhythm of survival's plea
When all you have is ruins on the ground
You still have you
And that's a beautiful sound
