Light

Light - Alice Ripley

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

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
