Lyrics

How wretched is the shadow

Of goodbye without hello

The void of deepest valleys

When I had to let go

How lonely is the pain

Of pretending I'm ok

Of that tragic farewell

I never thought I'd have to say

Chorus

Though I sit in darkness

A light shines

And darkness shall not overcome

For though I have fallen

I will rise again

Darkness shall not overcome

Shadows dance around me

And I have lost my might

But even the smallest flame

Can put up a big fight

The radiance of You

Dissipates the night

Darkness shall not hold me

I can see the light

Bridge

Night is quaking

For dawn is breaking

I walk along with sadness

Its reach is like the tide

Sometimes it laps at my soles

Sometimes I'm trapped inside

This grief has found a part

Of my heart to abide

I sit back down in darkness

When I just need to hide
