"I know the sun must set to rise"

This song touches home for me and I hope it reaches out to some of you, too.

When she was just a girl
She expected the world
But it flew away from her reach so
She ran away in her sleep
And dreamed of
Para-para-paradise, Para-para-paradise, Para-para-paradise
Every time she closed her eyes

When she was just a girl
She expected the world
But it flew away from her reach
And the bullets catch in her teeth
Life goes on, it gets so heavy
The wheel breaks the butterfly
Every tear a waterfall
In the night the stormy night she'll close her eyes
In the night the stormy night away she'd fly

And dreams of
Para-para-paradise...

And so lying underneath those stormy skies
She'd say, "oh, ohohoh I know the sun must set to rise"

This could be
Para-para-paradise...

Well this is it, my paradise is coming to life slowly but surely.  All I had to do was stick through the storm and I did just that.  I've survived so many falls and here I am still standing tall.  The sun is definitely rising and so many great things are happening for me.  It just goes to show what perseverance can do for you.

Sometimes you just need to believe that everything will be okay and that things happen for a reason.  Without my scars I wouldn't remember all that I came from.  A lotus blooming from a swamp.  There is hope for change.  There is hope for better.
