Banish this darkness that I might fly
Praying for the dawn to end my night
Fill my soul with that heavenly light
So long, this darkness has brought me down
Silent, the muse hasn't made a sound
Imprisoned below where no ray of light ventures
The fire in my heart so utterly quench'd
And this night grows so very long
My heart, my soul, my life, my song
And, oh, this night goes on
Everything I am, awaiting the sun
On far horizons a light is breaking
And now the song in my soul is waking
Is this the dawn of all my dreams?
The light, the sun, the healing beams
The daylight stretches across the land
Once more able to reach out my hand
I stand, I run, I climb, I fly
My song takes wing in the glowing sky
And this night grows so very long
My heart, my soul, my life, my song
And, oh, this night goes on
Everything I am, awaiting the sun
Lord, hang your sun inside my soul
And never, never let it grow cold
Chase out the chill of my long night
Fill me again with your heavenly light
And this night grows so very long
My heart, my soul, my life, my song
And, oh, this night goes on
Everything I am, awaiting the sun.
