Help me to see past my present pain,
And trace the rainbow through the rain,
Let me see beyond the hurt and the sorrow,
And catch a glimpse of a better tomorrow,
As with my inner struggles I cope,
May I find a new sense of on going hope,
As the mighty winds keep a tree tall and long,
May my troubles ultimately make me strong,
Ahead the yonder bright lights may I see,
And believe that I now can be set free,
Now here today may I truly find,
Inner strength and lasting peace of mind.
