Purpose In Pain

Sometimes hope dwells in the darkness

waiting to be found.

With bitter tears we fight through days

that do not seem to end.

But finding purpose in the pain

will shatter doubt and help you persevere.

To conquer fear

you must admit that weakness is your strength.

Realize that by yourself you're not as strong as you think

A helping hand is never far

but pride will kill you fast and watch you fall.

Reaching beyond all the wreckage we see.

Together we'll find what we truly believe.

Crawl through the ashes of our past mistakes.

Emerge, so much stronger, refined by the flames.

Burn away the selfishness that hinders our progress.

Don't suffocate compassion, that won't bring you happiness

Know there is another way to live and die

with darkness left behind.

We must deny.

Deny ourselves these lusts kill from inside.

Don't attempt to bear this weight-

alone you'll find a grim and lonely fate.

This helping hand is never far,

but pride will kill you fast and watch you fall.

Our faith is tested everyday.

The serpent wants us to betray

and turn our backs on everything

that gave our lives a true meaning.

And though this voice is loud and clear

He'll never take what we hold dear,

the truth will always light the way

The depths of hell will hear us say

These walls they cannot hold

my ambitions will guide me through.

I'd know I died living, then die and regret it all.
