I raise my arms up to the sun
To show my darkness I have won
No more reoccurring dreams
Of my phantoms haunting me
Your lament voices I'll no longer hear
These lies you whisper in my ear
My seeds were scattered upon fertile ground
Then like a weed you came to choke me out
But I will overcome affliction and persevere
Broken by love rebuilt by fear
No more the deflating weak one still enslaved
By the ghost inside my living grave
Although my hearts still broken every night
I see my freedom in my sight
As I lift my eyes up to the prize above
This pain inside has taught me how to love
Becoming more than what I am
With this new faith in life I say Amen
