[Verse 1] The morning came in slow Under a wool-gray sky My hands were cold as stone Till I saw you by my side A cracked old dream still breathed In the dust on the floor You said, "Just wait with me" And I could wait for more [Pre-Chorus] One thin line of gold On the edge of the dark I felt my heart unfold Like a match in the spark [Chorus] Here comes the light, the light Here comes the light, the light We rise tonight, tonight We rise tonight, tonight (oh, we rise) (we rise) With hope in our hands [Verse 2] The road was rough and long And the weight was hard to bear We learned how to hold on With a prayer in the air Then you laughed and pulled me close Like the storm was gone And every broken thing Started singing along [Pre-Chorus] One thin line of gold On the edge of the dark I felt my heart unfold Like a match in the spark [Chorus] Here comes the light, the light Here comes the light, the light We rise tonight, tonight We rise tonight, tonight (oh, we rise) (we rise) With hope in our hands [Bridge] If the night comes back We know the way through One small light can last When it starts with you [Final Chorus] Here comes the light, the light Here comes the light, the light We rise tonight, tonight We rise tonight, tonight (oh, we rise) (we rise) With hope in our hands Here comes the light, the light Here comes the light, the light We rise tonight, tonight We rise tonight, tonight (oh, we rise) (we rise) With hope in our hands
