MIRRORS OF LIFE
A BLACK AND STORMY NIGHT
IT'S A BLACK AND STORMY NIGHT
IN THE MIDDLE OF THE DAY
I'M SEARCHING AND I'M LOOKING
TRYING TO FIND MY WAY
ONE STEP PAST THE MIDNIGHT
OF A DAWN-HUNGRY SUN
I'M SEARCHING FOR MY FREEDOMS
WHERE THEY'RE LEAVING ONE BY ONE.
SOMEHOW I'M AGGRAVATED
BY THE QUIET ON THE SHORE
FOR I FEEL A WAR A'RAGING
JUST BEYOND THAT OPEN DOOR
PEACE TALK ALL AROUND ME
BUT THE DEAD ARE IN THE STREET
WHILE ALL THE HOPES OF RESURECTION
ARE BURIED BENEATH MY FEET.
SO, I GUESS I'LL RISE UP IN ANGER
I'LL PRETEND THAT THEY'ER ALL DEAD
ALL MY PERSECUTORS........
WALKING IN MY HEAD........
THEY'VE COME TO TAKE OUR FREEDOMS
WANTA MAKE US THEIR SLAVES
THEIR GUNS ARE AIMED UPON US
WHILE THEY ARE MEASURING OUR GRAVES.
BUT, IT'S NOT OVER TIL IT'S OVER
AND GOD SAYS YOU CAN WIN
I'M HUMBLED BY THE LEARNING
FROM THE FLESHLY HEARTS OF BEGGAR MEN
SO, TAKE A GLANCE WITHIN YOU
WHERE THE REAL WILL NEVER FADE
BEYOND THE MIND THAT REMINDS YOU
TO ALWAYS BE AFRAID!
TAKE COURAGE, THE BATTLE'S RAGING
AND MEN'S SOULS NOW ARE AT STAKE
AS THE DARKNESS ALL SURROUNDS US
AND MEASURES WHAT IT WILL TAKE
BUT THE LIGHT IS STILL WITHIN YOU
IT'S BEAMING FROM THE SHORE
OF GOD'S INWARD KINGDOM
AS HE HOLDS AN OPEN DOOR
GO DEEP WITHIN WHERE YOU'LL FIND IT
THE POWER WAITING THERE
THEN WHEN EARTH DOES VANISH
YOU'LL STILL BE STANDING HERE
BETWEEN THE DARKNESS AND THE NIGHTSHADE
OF A MILLION-MILLION SUNS
WHEN GOD REVEALS HIS VICTORY
FROM THE SOULS OF EVERYONE.
