A bright spark, a dark night I emerged, made of light As I grew, I knew, I was so much more Than the kicks I found Now I pray like a saint That somehow iIll cope As I place my gift On the altar of hope Roll back the stone from a lifetime ago Reveal who I was before life took its toll Lay down, lay down every card that I hold Now imperfect yet perfect I stand as I am Those teen years, joy and tears Growing pains and pouring rain By my nerves I learned the curves And what it took to fake my way Now the veil has been lifted Like a sculptor's reveal And now I realize That I am what I feel Roll back the stone from a lifetime ago Reveal who I was before life took its toll Lay down, lay down every card that I hold Now imperfect yet perfect I stand as I am As I wake up and dream of the life that I see Filled up with hope, filled with love And a touch of madness Let me believe I could truly change Too crazy? Too strange? A bright spark, a dark night I emerged a child of light Roll back the stone from a lifetime ago Reveal who I was before life took its toll Lay down, lay down every card that I hold Now imperfect yet perfect I stand as I am
