A spark soaring down through the pouring rain
And restoring life to the lighthouse
A slow motion wave on the ocean stirs
My emotion up like a rain cloud
When did the sky turn black?
And when will the light come back?
A cab driver turned to skydiver, then to survivor
Dying to breakdown
A blood brother, surrogate mother
Hugging each other, crying their eyes out
When did the sky turn black?
And when will the light come back?
I'm ecstatic like a drug addict
Locked in the attic, strung out and spell bound
I fought all through the night
Oh oh, but I made it alive
The sun's starting to rise
Oh oh, these are beautiful times
This fight of my life is so hard
So hard, so hard
But I'm gonna survive
Oh oh, these are beautiful times
A bad feeling burned through the ceiling
Leaving my healing heart with a new scar
A dead fire rose and rose higher
Like a vampire up from the graveyard
When did the sky turn black?
And when will the light come back?
We all suffer but we recover
Just to discover life where we all are
I fought all through the night
Oh oh, but I made it alive
The sun is starting to rise
Oh oh, these are beautiful times
This fight of my life is so hard
So hard, so hard
But I'm gonna survive
Oh oh, these are beautiful times
This fight of my life is so hard
So hard, so hard
But I'm gonna survive
Oh oh, these are beautiful times
My heart's burning bad and it's turning black
But I'm learning how to be stronger
And sincerely, I love you dearly, oh
But I'm clearly destined to wander
