lyrics
INTRO
Harmonies: (…Oh…)
LYRIC 1
Wake me up from somewhere deep inside,
Take me over take me for a ride,
Show me something I don’t have in mind,
Give me hope; please won’t you shine your light?
For me… To see…
LYRIC 2
Turn the clock and take us back in time,
To the place where night had crossed the line,
Speak your wisdom, give me faith tonight,
Won’t you, take this shroud of darkness off of my life…
>CHORUS<
In the night I hear the voices call, (Voices call)
Carried by the wind so warm and strong, (Warm and strong)
Twilight brings me sight and shows me the signs.
The light shines bright, after night…
(>>>MUSICAL BREAK<<<)
(Repeatedly): After…
After night. Oh!!!
>REPEAT CHORUS<
(>>>MUSICAL BREAK<<<)
(…after night…)
TRANSFER LYRIC
(Whispered): Take me to the light, show me give me sight…
(>>>MUSICAL BREAK / SOLO<<<)
BRIDGE LYRIC A
No light, I’ve been in the dark of despair – lonely no direction.
All night, the thought in my mind had remained the same,
I’m always thinking of you my dear…
BRIDGE LYRIC B
(Waiting….. x4)
I’m waiting for you…
I’ll wait for your light!...
END LYRICS
After night….. x8
Out of my darkness, shines a beam of light – you are that light.
…I will wait!.....
After night….. x4
