Beautiful Times

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 Die in the 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 startin' 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? 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's startin' 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 This fight 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 wander
