Valley of Tears

Thought I'd be stuck here forever
Don't need to live in fear anymore 
There's been a change in the weather
The choir's singing in my honor
I'm happy to leave here
There's so much more to explore...
    Time to wash away all the fears of yesterday
 I've had enough of your black rain
Don't let the past ruin today
Time to free myself from all the pain
I've come such a long way
 There is a life out there
Beyond the valley of tears
There must be....
    I'm gonna change my name
Change my hair 
And untangle you from me
Picking up the pieces of the mess you made of me
The darkness still surrounds me
But I pray one day I'll rise above it all...
   Around this time next year 
I'll have nothing but my shame
The flame may be gone but the fire still remains
But I pray one day I'll rise above it all...
There is a life out there
Beyond the valley of tears
There must be...
