Dawning

Broken so long, I can't remember what it was like to be okay.
but even though it's getting harder, I know I can become stronger!
through the hate and malicious lies, I hope to say that I'll survive.
though I don't know how close or far away the morning is...
 
I will see it dawning,
when all I've known for ages is the dusk and demoned night
there will be no mourning,
after I have discovered the beauty and truth within the strife
and I'll be able to stand and say I didn't let it push my heart too far
so distant from where you are but I can hear you  calling...
now I pray, pray for the dawning...
 
Lone and solemn, I've always faked being the strong one.
and even though this storm lasts longer, I know I can rise taller!
despite the pain and fallacious words, I know I'll say that I'm alright.
though I'm not sure how light or dark the coming day will be
 
I will see it dawning,
when all I've known for ages is the dusk and demoned night
there'll be no mourning,
after I have discovered the beauty and truth within the strife
and I'll be able to stand and say I didn't let it push my heart too far
so distant from where you are but I can hear you calling...
now I pray, pray for the dawning...
 
there won't be any black shadows in the hallways
whispers or questions of why
I'm fading faster but I'm holding onto my lifeline
I hope the knots I've made don't come unraveled
because that's all that's keeping me together
but somehow I'm sure
 
I will see it dawning,
when all I've known for ages is the dusk and demoned night
there'll be no mourning,
after I have discovered the beauty and truth within the strife
and I'll be able to stand and say I didn't let it push my heart too far
so distant from where you are but I can hear you  
 
calling...
now I pray, pray for the dawning...
pray, pray for me darling...
