A bright spark, a dark night
I emerged, made of light
As I grew, I knew, I was so much more
Than the kicks I found

Now I pray like a saint
That somehow iIll cope
As I place my gift
On the altar of hope

Roll back the stone from a lifetime ago
Reveal who I was before life took its toll
Lay down, lay down every card that I hold
Now imperfect yet perfect I stand as I am

Those teen years, joy and tears
Growing pains and pouring rain
By my nerves I learned the curves
And what it took to fake my way

Now the veil has been lifted
Like a sculptor's reveal
And now I realize
That I am what I feel

Roll back the stone from a lifetime ago
Reveal who I was before life took its toll
Lay down, lay down every card that I hold
Now imperfect yet perfect I stand as I am

As I wake up and dream of the life that I see
Filled up with hope, filled with love
And a touch of madness
Let me believe I could truly change
Too crazy? Too strange?

A bright spark, a dark night
I emerged a child of light

Roll back the stone from a lifetime ago
Reveal who I was before life took its toll
Lay down, lay down every card that I hold
Now imperfect yet perfect I stand as I am
