A spark soaring down in the pouring rain And restoring life to the light house A slow motion wave and 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 Die in the breakdown A blood brother and 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, strong I am spell bound 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 A bad feeling burnt 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 a 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 wonder
