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
