Fortitude Of Pain
When the shadows fall
And the darkness calls
When you're fighting for the Light
But you're dragged down screaming
In to the depths of night
Who can explain the fortitude of pain?
Who can explain the fortitude of pain?
Something's pushing me down.
I'm not sure what's there
I can raise my arm
But I see only air
What I see in my heart nightly
I could never reveal it lightly
And I'm reaching out
But I cannot call
And I'm thrown about
But I cannot fall
When I'm caught between the rise and fall of it all
Who can explain the fortitude of pain?
Who can explain the fortitude of pain?
Who can explain what I see in your eye
What you see in my heart that we try to deny?
Can we be resurrected and then perfected
Or is this just a process we all are going through?
Who can explain the fortitude of pain?
Who can explain the fortitude of pain?
What I see in my heart nightly
I could never reveal it lightly
It takes years to reveal what it takes years to conceal
But God speed ahead to raise us all from the dead
Who can explain the fortitude of pain?
Who can explain the fortitude of pain?
