Warm April light, a garden day
She thought the hard part was the end of the day,
Then a horror shot, a silent blow
Felt like a fist she didn't see or know,
She touched the wound, she found the shaft
A silent weapon, a deadly craft
Across the fence, a twist of fate
A practice arrow lost its straight,
It went through baskets, fence, and tree
nothing could change its destiny,
The arrow held its target sure
not knowing that it would be the cure,
When the worst day leads to a better day, yeah
And the thing that breaks you makes a brand new way,
That's how the darkness turns to light.
(Every dark, every storm, keeps your heart beating warm)
When the wrong turn takes you to the right place, hey
And the pain is proof that you escaped that day,
That's how the darkness turns to light.
(Every dark, every storm, keeps your heart beating warm)
The doctors stared at the X-ray screen,
The miracle they had never seen,
Between the artery, beside the vein
Not a single drop of blood, no strain
They said: You're lucky, you should be gone
But the story’s only just begun,
Because the arrow showed them the way,
To hidden monster, waiting to slay
They found the tumor, the ticking clock
The silent fault line in the body's rock,
When the worst day leads to the best day, yeah,
And the thing that breaks you makes a brand new way,
That's how the darkness turns to light.
(Every dark, every storm, keeps your heart beating warm)
When the wrong turn takes you to the right place, hey,
And the pain is proof that you escaped that day,
That's how the darkness turns to light.
(Every dark, every storm, keeps your heart beating warm)
The blade that meant to cut her down,
It brought the truth that saved her crown,
She had a lion in her heart, a fire in her soul,
The tumor, the aneurysm, took its toll,
But when the devil came to claim her own,
He never saw the seeds that had been sown,
A ricochet, a twist in the air,
It’s proof that sometimes, life will care!,
When the worst day leads to the best day, yeah,
And the thing that breaks you makes a brand new way,
That's how the darkness turns to light.
(Every dark, every storm, keeps your heart beating warm)
When the wrong turn takes you to the right place, hey,
And the pain is proof that you escaped that day,
That's how the darkness turns to light.
(Every dark, every storm, keeps your heart beating warm)
When the arrows fly to take your life,
Look for the ways to make the bad things right,
That's how the darkness turns to light.
