My life ended in a flash of light
Surrounded by confusion and pain
My world turned upside down
My dreams burned up in flames.

I thought my life ended that night
I didn�t think I was ready for the change
I didn�t know I could handle the fight
That I was reaching for a higher plane

CHORUS:
I knew I was sinking fast
But I didn�t wanna climb
Screaming, hanging on to the past
Afraid of what I�d find

Lord Give me the strength
Help me to reach beyond my pain
To make my dreams reality
Help me to see all that I can be

My life started in that flash of light
Surrounded by the fear of change
I know now I can change my life
Dreams opened up and blossomed in the flame.

Now I know my life began the night
I had to run into the rain
I had to face so many fears
I survived the struggle and the strain.

CHORUS:
I felt I was sinking fast
No, I didn�t wanna try
Screaming, hanging on to the past
I couldn�t understand why

Th� Lord gives me the strength
To make my dreams reality
Helps me reach beyond the pain
To know/see what others see in me
