sleepless nights and song titles

Last night, I couldn't sleep...
So I did what I normally do when I can't sleep...
I lay there, tossing and turning, and then eventually I pray and grab my MP3 player...
Well last night, the song that came on my MP3 player was not one that I was very familiar with, I knew the title, I knew the artist... but beyond that, I hadn't really listened to the song... The song was by Superchick and is called "Beauty from Pain"...
I liked the title so much when I first heard it, that I retitled my blog to use it instead...
But as I lay there in my bed, and listened, really listened to the words, I realized that this song is my story... Not everyday, but some days... it's getting better, so it's not every day... but last night was one of those "some days"...
Anyway, I don't know what you're going through right now.... but I thought I'd put the words up here, so you can read them... God bless!

"Beauty From Pain"
by Superchick

the lights go out all around me
one last candle to keep out the night
and then the darkness surrounds me
i know i'm alive but i feel like i've died
and all that's left is to accept that it's over
my dreams ran like sand through the fists that i made
i try to keep warm but i just grow colder
i feel like i'm slipping away

after all this has passed, i still will remain
after i've cried my last, there'll be beauty from pain
though it won't be today,
someday i'll hope again
and there'll be beauty from pain
YOU will bring beauty from my pain

my whole world is the pain inside me
the best i can do is just get through the day
when life before is only a memory
i'll wonder why GOD lets me walk through this place
and though i can't understand why this happened
i know that i will when i look back someday
and see how YOU've brought beauty from ashes
and made me as gold purified through these flames

after all this has passed, i still will remain
after i've cried my last, there'll be beauty from pain
though it won't be today,
someday i'll hope again
and there'll be beauty from pain
YOU will bring beauty from my pain

here i am, at the end of me
tryin to hold to what i can't see
i forgot how to hope
this night's been so long
i cling to YOUR promise
there will be a dawn

after all this has passed, i still will remain
after i've cried my last, there'll be beauty from pain
though it won't be today,
someday i'll hope again
and there'll be beauty from pain
YOU will bring beauty from my pain
