open up a photograph, a picture in my mind
a flash of light, the camera snaps and i go back in time
to an empty space, and I fall from the stage
oh what a waste...
though i tried I couldn't hide what was happening in my heart
while carrying the brightest flame i was stumbling in the dark
in the secret place, a man feels the ache
the end of my strength
and nobody noticed but You
In a million pieces broken on the floor
waiting for a spark
for a prayer in the dark
running out of answers, running out of tears
waiting for a spark
for a prayer in the dark
mercy much more powerful than all of my regrets
forgiveness in an instant came and canceled all my debts
then came the peace, i heard the Spirit speak
"a captive is released"
then I saw the light on Your face
and all I had been was erased
In a million pieces broken on the floor
waiting for a spark
for a prayer in the dark
running out of answers, running out of tears
waiting for a spark
for a prayer in the dark
