Dimming now, the setting sun
The day is finally through
The troubles and trials I faced today
Are vanished into the blue
Each step I took, each cross I bore
They’re all now passed away
And though they felt so hard to take
There dawns a brighter day
Some say tomorrow will be the same
A never ending struggle
But I have faith, and look for hope
Through all my current trouble
Yesterday seemed so hard, I know
Then today my trials were worse
But somewhere, maybe, yes, sometime
My heart cannot be hurt
I’ve fought in many battles
I’ve had to see them through
And to this day I wear the scars
Of what I had to do
If only time could bend and change
I’d go and save myself
But oh, the change it’s made to me
Has been for my good health
Why people fight, and lie and hate
My heart just longs to know
Why did they do these things to me
And those that I love so
But people change and feelings grow
And not always for good
It is the saddest of all truths
I’d fix it if I could
Perhaps through trials I will learn
It’s not always about me
That there is more to life than just
What I can feel and see
If my heart is so easily broken
It shows I need repair
That I must fall upon the Rock
To climb out of despair
The fight will make me stronger
The fire make me clean
The battle scars that I must bear
Remind me where I’ve been
And if you’re sitting somewhere now
Feeling that you’re alone
That you’ve lost everything, and everyone
I’ve known what you have known
Sometimes we face things in our lives
That leave us battered, bruised
And though you may never get over it
My friend, you will get through
Dimming now, the setting sun
Your day is finally through
The troubles and trials you faced today
Are vanished into the blue
Each step you took, each cross you bore
They’re all now passed away
And though they felt so hard to take
There dawns a brighter day
