I lay upon the cold and bitter ground
Thinking that my spirit would be drowned
But deep inside the shadows of my mind
I realized there was something left to find
A tiny spark that wouldn't fade away
A stubborn will to see another day
I pushed against the heavy, suffocating night
And started reaching out to find the light
The sorrow tries to pull me deep
But I have promises to keep
I'm standing up with a broken but unbreakable soul
I'm taking back the pieces just to make myself whole
They took away the world that I used to know
But I refuse to let my spirit go
Oh, the dark is just a place where you learn how to see
There is an undefeated fire burning inside of me
I won't go down
I will not drown
I claim my ground
I carry all the scars upon my face
But I am walking with a different grace
The outer walls have fallen in the wind
But this is where my truest strength begins
I'm standing up with a broken but unbreakable soul
I'm taking back the pieces just to make myself whole
They took away the world that I used to know
But I refuse to let my spirit go
Oh, the dark is just a place where you learn how to see
There is an undefeated fire burning inside of me
You don't discover how strong you really are
Until being strong is the only choice you have left
The things we lose can never define
The power of what remains inside of us
If you are sitting in the dark right now
Don't be afraid
Just stand up and be your own light
