Light

We need some light
First of all
We need some light
You can't sit here
In the dark
And all alone
It's a sorry sight
It's just you and me
We'll live
You'll see.

Night after night
We'd sit and wait
For the morning light
But we've waited far too long
For all that's wrong
To be made right.

Day after day
Wishing all our cares away
Trying to fight the things we feel
But some hurts never heal
Some ghosts are never gone
But we go on
We still go on.

And you find some way to survive
And you find out you don't have
To be happy at all
To be happy you're alive.

Day after day
Give me clouds, and rain, and grey
Give me pain if that's what's real
It's the price we pay to feel
The price of love is loss
But still we pay
We love anyway.

And when they night has fin'ly gone
And when we see the new day dawn
We'll wonder how we wandered for
So long, so blind
The wasted world we thought we knew
The light will make it look brand new.

So let it
Let it
Let it
Shine!
Shine!
Shine!

Day after day
We'll find the will to find our way
Knowing that the darkest sky
Will someday see the sun
When our long night is done
There will be light
There will be light.

When we open up our lives
Sons and daughters
Husbands, wives
And fight that fight
There will be light
There will be light
There will be light
There will be light!
