Can't believe

I've spent too long in the rain,
Nursing my pain,
Too long in the cold,
Too beaten to have my story told,
I've spent too long alone,
Afraid to go home,
I've spent too long living in fear,
Not wanting to be here.

I never thought the tide would turn,
As i watched my dreams burn,
I never thought I'd see the light of day,
Nor have the strength in me to pray,
But one day I saw light,
Just a little but ever so bright,
One day I saw the sun,
The bright shining sun.

I can't believe that this is me,
I can't believe what I can be,
I've been blessed it seems,
I now realise my dreams,
There is strength in my heart,
Never to depart,
I never thought it would happen to me,
I cannot believe that this is me.
