The Mo(u)rning Light

Verse 1

It's been a dark and lonely road

I fought shadows I didn't know I had

And the dreams that made me hope

Found their graves on the side of the highway of the past

But I'm still praying that the sun comes up

‘Cause I'm not ready to give all this up just yet

Chorus

‘Cause I believe

There's a little light left for me

And I'll be alright

Though I know there's a little ways left to go

To be free from night

This morning my mourning is light

Verse 2

It's been a battlefield for sure

I've been to hell and I'm still walking back

But every shadow on the floor

Has got some light somewhere behind its back

And I don't know how long it is till dawn

But I'm not ready to give all this up just yet

Chorus

‘Cause I believe

There's a little light left for me

And I'll be alright

Though I know there's a little ways left to go

To be free from night

This morning my mourning is light

Bridge

Tired in my veins, weary in my bones

Looking like a grave, feeling like a ghost

Getting pulled away in the undertow

(Don't give up, just don't give up) 

Empty like a vase, I can't feel at all

Don't know how to stand, don't know how to get up

Praying for a way around Jericho

(Don't give up, just don't give up)

Tired in my veins, weary in my bones

Looking like a grave, feeling like a ghost

Getting pulled away in the undertow

(Don't give up, just don't give up) 

Empty like a vase, I can't feel at all

Don't know how to stand, don't know how to get up

Praying for a way around Jericho

(Don't give up, just don't give up)

Chorus

(alone and in the distance)

But I believe

There's a little light left for me

And I'll be alright

Though I know there's a little ways left to go

To be free from night

This morning my mourning is light
