Tears wash the blood off of my face Why did it have to be this way I've taken the last beating from you This I promise you I'm waiting for the sun to rise And make the darkness go away The time has come to say goodbye And God will help me find a way Just to let go of the fear I can't deny these thoughts of hate The poison adding to my shame Forgiveness can't take scars away But I forgive you anyway I'm waiting for the sun to rise And make the darkness go away The time has come to say goodbye And God will help me find a way Just to let go of the fear I had enough I took too much But this I swear I will pray for you I had enough I took too much But this I swear I will pray for you I'm waiting for the sun to rise And make the darkness go away The time has come to say goodbye And God will help me find a way I'm waiting for the sun to rise And make the darkness go away The time has come to say goodbye And God will help me find my way As I let go of the fear
