A spot 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 raincloud

When did the sky turn black?
And when will the light come back?

A cab driver turned to skydiver
Then to survivor, die into breakdown
A blood brother and surrogate mother
Hugging each other, crying their eyes out

When did the sky turn black?
And when will the light come back?
Un-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 stormed arrives
Oh, oh, these are beautiful times

This part 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 hard 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?
We all suffer but we recover
Just to discover life where we all are

I fought all through the night
Oh, oh, but I made it alive
The sun stormed arrives
Oh, oh, these are beautiful times

This part of my life is so hard, so hard, so hard
But I'm gonna survive
Oh, oh, these are beautiful times

This part of my life is so hard, so hard, so hard
But I'm gonna survive
Oh, oh, these are beautiful times

My heart's burning bad and it's turning black
But I'm learning how to be stronger
And sincerely I love you dearly
Oh, but I'm clearly destined to wonder
