The lyrics to Light from Next to Normal

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
Let it
Let it
Shine, shine, shine

Day after day
We'll find the will to find our way
Knowing that the darkest skies will someday see the sun.

When are long night is done
There will be light

There will be light.
When we open up our lives
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.
