You've seen my descent
Down to the valley of the brokenhearted
Where the soil bleeds and the grass is dark red
Where dreams are dreamt on a bed of thousand nails
And tears of sorrow flow, to the river of pain that never ends.
You've seen my fall
Down to the hills of tattered souls
Where lost spirits wandered, trying to find their homes
But the emptiness spread like a vast black hole
Engulfing everything even the last fragment of my fragile bone.
Down, down the valley I descend
A wounded bird with broken wings and heart shattered
Joining the hordes of the battered and near-dead
Surrendering to the world where laughter is unheard.
But as I listen to the silence of my miseries
Loud and familiar voices keep calling me desperately
Their call of love reverberate in my memory
Stirring me awake from my valley of agony.
As I looked up, I saw the shadows
Of the people I love suffering from my lost rainbow
Living in cold, in the forsaken depth of the hollow
Watching life goes by through darkened and cracked windows.
My broken heart, my tattered soul
Cried out in shame as realization started to crawl
Wallowing in self-pity, I became a selfish fool
Leaving my family at the mercy of the hungry wolves.
Down on my scarred knees, I knelt in prayer
Remembering God Almighty whom I forgot in blind despair
He gave me back my faith, mended my broken wings
To let me fly once more, away from the hills of dying dreams.
You've seen my fall, now watch my rising
Up, up into the sky of a new beginning
To the peak of the highest mountain where the sun is shining
Towards my tomorrow of gold and silver linings.
Watch me rise like a beautiful phoenix from its ashes
Watch me soar like a mighty eagle from a storm
Watch my power as it conquer the horizon
There is no stopping now, the wheels of change are in motion.
