Dawn Breaks
I used to write of sorrow
the pleasure of the pain
I used to sing the blues
tears fall like waters rained
I used to fear tomorrow
thought i'd lost my way
Hiding from the truth
kness bending from the strain
I used to dance in darkness
Now all of that has changed
I found the srength to stand up straight
I dance only in the light
My knees are bent from praying
take pleasure in doing right
Foregone is guilt and anger
removed is hate and spite
Replaced by love and pleasure
no more restless nights
Now the scars on my arm tell the story
my lips refuse to say
And the scars on my heart are healing
turns out i'm stronger than the pain
