She sits alone awake in bed
Wishing that her pain was dead
She walks alone asleep in day
Wishing that her life could fade away
Needing a new day where fields are green
Give her hope to find this dream
And people cast her down
She sinks into the underground
A lonesome start to each new day
She hopes one day God
Will help her forget all this ache
She fights so hard to find new life
She'll run towards the faintest light
