lyrics

As a child, for him I wept
Tossed and turned but never slept
Through the darkness he came to me
And calmly, quietly, cruelly, he set me free

A troubled heart makes a purer soul
I searched for my savior in a blindfold
Tortured and robbed of all I've known
But the darker the night, the brighter the gold

Oh, the hours here I spent
Locked inside divine torment
And just when I thought I could feel no more
Calmly, quietly, cruelly, he opened the door

A troubled heart makes a purer soul
I searched for my savior in a blindfold
Tortured and robbed of all I've known
But the darker the night, the brighter the gold
