Within the darkness of the night,
F C G
When clouds have put the stars to flight,
C E Am Am/G
Whatever dangers may assail us can be bourne,
F G (or G7) C
For every darkest hour must have its dawn.
A single star shines in the skies
That shows us all our darkening lies;
A ray of hope that lets your fears melt away,
And beckons with the promised light of day.
Whenever anger or despair
Flow, like the darkness, everywhere,
And cloud your vision so you cannot see the stars,
Remember this that these things too shall pass.
The dancing flame within your mind
Has left its purpose far behind.
Leave that flickering to go where'er it may
And come with me into another day.
Come, follow me into the light,
Your fire has faded with the night.
I'm waiting here for you, my sword no longer drawn;
The darkest hour has gone, and now its dawn.
