lyrics

Life is not a fairy tale
I know this now
It took a little time to understand
And all that I have been through
Led me here
And gave me strength to be a better man
I have known the shadow
It brought me low
And made me question everything I knew
But in those darkest moments
Even then
Somewhere inside I knew the truth

Day breaks
The night is washed away
And everything that held me here
Is guaranteed to fade
Pain erased
An endless open plain
And I will not fear anything
Ever again

The shadow proves the sunshine
The dark within
Gives meaning when we step into the light
If all we knew was peace
Could we really
Appreciate a moment of respite
But it provides perspective
It helps us see
The things that we were learning to ignore
And forces us to face them
To see our weakness
To see within the things that we abhor
And so we cry
And so we find…

Day breaks
The night is washed away
And everything that held me here
Is guaranteed to fade
Pain erased
An endless open plain
And I will not fear anything
Ever again

I cannot pretend
That I made it without scars
I cried out every midnight
But the answers seemed so far
I lost my true direction
Distracted by my heart
Somewhere inside I knew it
But I couldn't stand to stop
As despair prepared to break me
I saw the coming dawn
And so I let it take me
And lead me from the dark
And now I fear no longer
I lived to tell the tale
I can see the power
Of which I was availed

Day breaks
The night is washed away
And everything that held me here
Is guaranteed to fade
Pain erased
An endless open plain
And I will not fear anything
Ever again
