(CHORUS)
Daylight.
A little bit of daylight.
A little bit ‘o daylight.
Shinin’ ahead.
Shinin’ ahead.
All was dark and I was confused.
All my emotions were shattered, battered, and abused.
I was a blind man stumbling around.
I tripped over promises and I fell to the ground.
Oh I was searchin’.
For a way out.
I know that you know.
What I’m talkin’ about.
And now there’s... (repeat chorus)
Almost lost my mind. I was all alone.
I ran up against brick, mortar, and stone.
Trapped in a maze. With no way out.
I stood like a child. I tried to scream and shout.
I was lookin’.
To find my way.
Out of this night.
And in to the day.
And now there’s... (repeat chorus)
I stood in the middle of a raging storm.
The path I was on was blocked, pitted, and worn.
Confined to the shadows. With nowhere to go.
I felt like a prisoner. What did I know.
I was feeling anger.
I was feeling sad.
I really didn’t know.
What it was I had.
But now I do and now I see... (repeat chorus)
