I stand and I smile like I"m strong And I hide behind this curtain of light saying to myself I am where I belong as I bear myself in this song You hear who I am, would you care to sing along? Do you feel you're in a desert place And everything's unknown No comfort in what used to be Nothing feels like home Quiet is your scream for help Fear may have set in But understand you're not alone I can hear you from within And I don't mind as long as I find One familiar feeling Here I stand letting you know There is someone else here who is healing We're dealing Will you stand with me as we face this fire Let this burning truth let it purify Every part of me & in the end we'll see That all of these Ashes will be turned to Beauty Admit it We've fallen for less lovers oh so easily Believed in all their promises that turned out to be But mirages in the distance blinding our eyes From seeing the One who can truly satisfy Now all that's left is buried in the sand But I believe what is to come Is already beautiful before it can begin A new dawn is near at hand
