I lie awake at night
and cry myself to sleep
the morning sun come through my window
where darkness should be
the light breaks into my dreams
and makes me open my eyes
to see the new day
The new day has come
but morning is a waste of time
I wish to go back to my dark hole
where I can cry myself to sleep again
where all my hurts get washed away
until the next morning when I wake up
with the sun shining through my window
The sun will never stop shining
the tears will not stop falling
every day I wish for them to stop
but they do not and will not
for they just keep coming
so I just sit and cry some more
until the sun shines through my window
and I hide these tears away
My only hope is the fire that burns
within the factory walls
it is my lifeline my only source of hope
hope is too far for me to see
but I keep hoping
that it won't go out on me
and it still shines right now
I still hope that it won't go out
it has been going for so long
that if it goes out now then
I will be desolate and gone
but still it burns on and
still I go on like the flame
in the middle of the rain it
even burns in the middle of my rainy night
The fire within me still burns on the hope within me still waiting for
some sign of rain to see if it will stand through and hold up until
tomorrow.
