A spark soaring down through the pouring rain And restoring life to the lighthouse A slow motion wave on the ocean Stirs my emotion up like a rain cloud When did the sky turn black? And when will the light come back? A cab driver turned to skydiver Then to survivor, Dying to breakdown A blood brother, surrogate mother, Hugging each other, crying their eyes out When did the sky turn black? And when will the light come back? I'm ecstatic like a drug addict Locked in the attic Strung out and spellbound I fought all through the night Oh, oh, but I made it alive The sun's starting to rise Oh, oh, these are beautiful times This fight of my life is so hard, so hard, so hard But I'm gonna survive Oh, oh, these are beautiful times A bad feeling burned through the ceiling Leaving my healing heart with a new scar A dead fire rose and rose higher Like a vampire, up from the graveyard When did the sky turn black? And when will the light come back?
