First of all, we need some light
You can't sit here in the dark
And all alone. It's a sorry sight
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
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
And you find some way to survive
And you find out you don't have to be happy at all
Give me clouds, and rain and gray
Give me pain, if that's what's real
It's the price we pay to feel
The price of love is loss
And when the night has finally 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
Let it shine, shine, shine
We'll find the will to find our way
Knowing that the darkest skies will someday see the sun
When our long night is done,
When we open up our light
Sons and daughters, husbands, wives
