Awaken from the darkness
From the shadows
From the lies
You’re stronger than you know
You just have to realize

Awaken from this nightmare
From this dream
Gone terribly wrong
You’re getting closer day by day
Even when they seem so long

Awaken from the sorrow
From the sadness
From the tears
Time to stop feeling down
And conquer all your fears

So awaken and be happy
Be courageous
Start brand new
With a fresh beginning
The choice is up to you

May you always find strength, even when times seem dark. They will get better, you just have to believe that you can get through them.
