Broken, battered,
Bruised, and sore
My poor heart
Can take no more
Its flame's gone out
The light grows dim
So much pain
Life just seems grim
But then a change
When least expected
Remembered hope
Has me resurrected
Like a phoenix
From the ashes
My heart revives
In fits and flashes
Before I know it
It's burning bright
Lighting my way
Pushing back the night
I follow along
As it leads the way
To a better place
And a brand new day
