Darkness Before the Dawn...
Before the sun rises
Is the darkest time of day
I feel like I am stuck here
Like I will never be okay
I really know the way this works
It's not my first "rodeo"
But riding the bull, no end in sight?
Not the normal way to go
Feels like you're tied on, with no escape
As he pounds you all about
And you're stuck riding on his back
Clowns can't even get you out
Still, you hold tight, knowing you're broken
But couldn't let go, if you tried
Til the Rider comes, on horse and saddle
And rides along beside
He cuts the rope, and sets you free
Then pulls you onto his horse
But while you lay there, bleeding
And crying, they then force
You to get up, to raise your hand
Assuring you will be okay
Your body will need mended
And you may just have to stay
Under watch awhile, but never alone
As they tend to you, and you heal
Each and every bone that's broken
Will be different, and may feel
Like it is a permanent wound
And you will never be okay
But just remember, before the sun rises
Is the darkest time of the day...
