Lyrics

Lying here wide awake on my own now, silence is the loudest cry. I'm safe but I've lost everything I've known. I can't smile because the pain has gone, but cry because it's where I'm from. God, I turn to you to make me strong again. One day I can reach that rainbow, watch that sweet reflection shining on my first home. I'll give anything to see my family again, say how much I love them, that's all I imagine. One day I wish I could go back tomorrow, if it's only for just one second, put warmth back into a town that's frozen. I can't smile because the pain has gone, but cry because it's where I'm from. God, I turn to you to make me strong again. One day I can reach that rainbow, watch that sweet reflection shining on my first home. I'll give anything to see my family again, say how much I love them, that's all I imagine. Now I have cried so many times, and all those tears have washed my eyes, now I see clearly to the light, because I believe that one day I'll be home again, starting new life with peace everywhere, right from the start until the end, now I believe. One day I can reach that rainbow, one day I believe that, one day, one day I believe that, one day I can reach that rainbow, watch the sweet reflection shining on my first home. I'll give anything to see my family again, say how much I love them, that's all I imagine. One day, one day, one day, one day.
