Until you die from the moment you're born
Life can be hard on a valiant soul
As love leaves your heart battered and torn
Touched by the rose, in your side there's a thorn
Moments of truth, wizened and worn
Time tattered memories are sallow and gaunt
So speak to your heart, reach to the core
The darkest hour is just before dawn
From ashes to embers
You are like the sun
I can surrender...
Now is the dawn and it's time to believe
Flickers of light that are you in my life
I can be all that you want me to be
Can't you see...
See love through my eyes
You have my heart, you have my soul
You are the key, now i won't let you go
It's much more than love, you make me whole
You are the beauty that i've never known
Years locked in chains have taken their toll
Steeped in the feelings i've wanted to show
Now holding you close, losing control
Thoughts i've kept hidden are starting to flow
