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.
