Be Strong
words & music by Ryan Hicks

Desire for the heat ... need for the cold
Pages turning ... stories unfold
Attracted to the light ... burned in the flame
Caution, careful ... echoes the pain

He cries alone in the dark
His heart, again, ripped apart
Tears fall, too blind to see
Once more knocked down on his knees

Be strong in your darkness
Stand up when it rains
Be strong in your darkness
Just let go of the pain

Choking in the words ... conversation deep
Leading nowhere ... lies and deceit
Bad news at the door ... unbelieving eyes
Senseless dying ... a fatal good-bye

She cries alone in the dark
Her heart, again, ripped apart
Tears fall, too blind and she can't see
Once more knocked down on her knees

Be strong in your darkness
Stand up when it rains
Be strong in your darkness
Just let go of the pain
