Light

(album: Riverdale: Special Episode - Next To Normal The Musical - 2021)

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 gray
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 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, so
Let it
Let it
Let it
Shine, shine, shine

Day after day (day after day)
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
There will be light
There will be light
When we open up our light
Sons and daughters, husbands, wives
Can fight that fight
There will be light
There will be light
There will be light
There will be light
