Revived In the Rain

The lightning in my mind To pierce through the night And now I can not hide The truth has come to light The failure of a man The child had to demand Collapsed in glowing rain Conducting every shame The walls have crumbled down Revealing what I found Before I looked away Truth empowered by the day The night could never last As long as I could ask What have I now betrayed? When will I be okay? There was nowhere I could turn Nothing left to yearn No way could I try But now it burns my eyes The lightning in this storm Unveiling every form Silhouette of what is gone Breaking into dawn And everything is known Beyond the dark below The rain reveals the flow And the fallen start to grow The lightning through my heart Reviving one more start Awake and now at peace The light has pulled me to my feet
