In the quiet of the longest night
When the candle's almost gone
I will hold a little flame for you
Until the dark moves on
And when the dawn breaks
You will see how far you've come
Every tear, every ache
Was the rising of the sun
When the dawn breaks
You were braver than you ever knew
Carrying a weight so wide
But the morning has been waiting, love
On the other side
And when the dawn breaks
You will see how far you've come
Every tear, every ache
Was the rising of the sun
When the dawn breaks
Hold on, hold on, the light is on its way
Hold on, hold on, until the break of day
