Anyone Who Dares to Be, Can Never Be Weak


                                                (for Kathy)


After the darkness returns the light.
After the breakup comes a new beginning.

Let it all fall.  Let it all break.
Let the tears rain on the love that's fake.

After the darkness returns the light.

Listen to the silence.  Let it go.
Let them know that you're bigger than that.
Let this be the birth of a new beginning.

After the darkness returns the light.
After the breakup comes a new beginning.

Do not settle for less.  You dared to be.
You dared to be who you are.
You dared to walk your lonely path.

After the darkness returns the light.

Do not sweat it.  Let go of the same old same.
Do not reply and fall into their game.

Walk upright into the dawn of truth
With the dreams you carry--the dreams of youth.

After the darkness returns the light.

Let it go.  Let it breathe.  Let it just linger.
That's how you walked before and
That's how you walk right now.

Anyone who dares to be,
Can never be weak,
Anyone who dares to love,
Just keeps on loving.

Let it all die.  Let it break and fade.
Let it cry and burst like a hand grenade
Into the ocean of hearts.

You have died many times before
And each time were reborn to something greater.
After the darkness returns the light.
After the breakup comes a new beginning.
