ENDURING LOVE IS WHAT WE ALL LONG FOR SO MUCH

SO LET TODAY BE THE MOMENT
ENGRAVED IN OUR HEARTS

WE CHERISHED THE NOW...

REBIRTH FROM THE ASHES

MY TEARS HAVE SUBSIDED
YET, I AM LEFT WITH THE PAIN
I HEAR MYSELF LAUGHING
YET,  ONLY HEAR MY MOURNFUL CRY
I AM LIVING, BUT SLOWLY DYING INSIDE


DARLIN', I CAN'T FORGET YOU'RE GONE
I AM SURROUNDED BY FAMILY AND FRIENDS
I HEAR THEIR VOICES AND LAUGHTER
IT SHOULD BE AS MUSIC TO MY EARS
YET, IT ONLY BRINGS ME EMPTINESS AND TEARS


LIFE IS JUST NOT THE SAME, YOU ARE NOT HERE
WHEN WILL IT LEAVE ME, THIS UNBEARABLE PAIN?
MUST EVERY DAY OF SUNSHINE
BE ANOTHER  DAY OF ENDLESS, DEAFENING RAIN?


MY TEARS HAVE SUBSIDED
YET, I AM LEFT WITH THE PAIN
I AM SLOWLY CRAWLING OUT OF THE VALLEY OF DARKNESS
MY TEARS ARE SUBSIDING
YET, I AM LEFT WITH THE VOID


FROM THE ASHES I MUST GIVE BIRTH TO JOY
FROM THE ASHES I MUST GIVE MY LIFE NEW MEANING
I NOW AWAKEN WITH ONLY ONE PURPOSE
TO LIVE  WITH AN ABUNDANT HEART
FOR IT IS ONLY THEN I CAN GIVE YOUR MEMORY A VOICE


FROM THE ASHES I SAW THE LIGHT
THE TEARS WERE MY SALVATION
I WALKED THROUGH THE STORM
AND GAIN, I KNOW, LOVE IS SUBLIME!


REBIRTH FROM THE ASHES
AGAIN, I REJOICE!
IT TOOK A LONG , LONG TIME
BUT NOW I KNOW...YOU HAVE NEVER LEFT ME
AND NOW I KNOW, YOU NEVER WILL...

YOU WERE; YOU ARE STILL  MINE!
