Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Where has the starlight gone?
Dark is the day
How can I find my way home?
[Verse 2]
Home is an empty dream
Lost to the night
Father, I feel so alone
[Verse 3]
You promised you'd be there
Whenever I needed you
Whenever I call your name
You're not anywhere
[Verse 4]
I'm tryin' to hold on
Just waiting to hear your voice
One word, just word will do
To end this nightmare
[Verse 5]
When will the dawning break?
Oh, endless night
Sleepless, I dream of the day
[Verse 6]
When you were by my side
Guiding my path
Father, I can't find the way
[Verse 7]
You promised you'd be there
Whenever I needed you
Whenever I call your name
You're not anywhere
[Verse 8]
I'm tryin' to hold on
Just waiting to hear your voice
One word, just word will do
To end this nightmare
[Verse 9]
(I know that the night must end)
(And that the sun will rise)
(And that the sun will rise)
(I know that the clouds must clear)
(And that the sun will shine)
(And that the sun will shine)
[Verse 10]
I know that the night must end
And that the sun will rise
And that the sun will rise
I know that the clouds must clear
And that the sun will shine
(And that the sun will shine)
[Verse 11]
I know
(I know that the night must end)
Yes, I know
(And that the sun will rise)
The sun will rise
(And that the sun will rise)
Yes, I know
(I know that the clouds must clear)
I know
(And that the sun will shine)
The clouds must clear
(And that the sun will shine)
[Verse 12]
I know that the night must end
I know that the sun will rise
And I'll hear your voice deep inside
(And that the sun will rise)
(I know that the clouds must clear)
(And that the sun will shine)
I know that the night must end
(And that the sun will shine)
(I know that the night must end)
And that the clouds must clear
(And that the sun will rise)
Oh, the sun
(And that the sun will rise)
The sun will rise
(I know that the clouds must clear)
The sun
(And that the sun will shine)
The sun will rise
