When the darkness opens up like a tomb
light floods in and I can see
When the fear starts to choke me like a noose
the angels remind me we are safe
When the sadness starts to drench me like rain
my children’s laughter sounds and I smile
The road is long and winding
but the signs glow like beacons
and my heart and spirit are strong
