Walking through It

Let the rain fall
Let me walk through it all
So I can grow
In this pain I'm feeling
Let me experience the worst
So the future no longer
Can throw me off course

Help me to know this will give me strength
Help me to know I won't give in
Give up on being a friend
I want to know my true self
And ignore the voices all around
That always beat my character to the ground

Help me not to settle for less
And help me to know
You'll cause the chaos to eventually end

I wish I knew you're timing
I wish I knew how you worked
But all I have is faith
That I'm on the right course

I feel like I'm melting down
I feel like the darkness has won
But show me I am a fighter
Show me I'm not ready to give up

I never really knew emptiness
And fear such as this
And I am no longer in control
Anything can happen
And I'm scared once again

My heart is sinking
But somewhere I see a sliver of light
And I know I'll make it to the other side
I know deep down things will change
But why does it have to be done this way?
