Purpose In Pain

Sometimes hope dwells in the darkness
Waiting to be found
With bitter tears we fight through days
That do not seem to end
But finding purpose in the pain
Will shatter doubt and help you persevere
To conquer fear
You must admit that weakness is your strength
Realize that by yourself you’re not as strong as you think
A helping hand is never far
But pride will kill you fast and watch you fall
Reaching beyond all the wreckage we see
Together we’ll find what we truly believe
Crawl through the ashes of our past mistakes
Emerge, so much stronger, refined by the flames
Burn away the selfishness that hinders our progress
Don’t suffocate compassion, that won’t bring you happiness
Know there is another way to live and die
With darkness left behind
We must deny
Deny ourselves these lusts kill from inside
Don’t attempt to bear this weight-
Alone you’ll find a grim and lonely fate
This helping hand is never far
But pride will kill you fast and watch you fall
Our faith is tested everyday
The serpent wants us to betray
And turn our backs on everything
That gave our lives a true meaning
And though this voice is loud and clear
He’ll never take what we hold dear
The truth will always light the way
The depths of hell will hear us say
These walls they cannot hold
My ambitions will guide me through
I’d know I died living, then die and regret it all
