It surely can't stay dark forever
Even sadness has its lonely day
There'll be an end to emptiness
Something brighter's on its way.

There'll be an end to expectation
To longing for the kingdom come
There'll be no need to wrap up warm
Dreaming of a golden sun.

There'll be an end to stormy weather
To striving through the driving rain
An end to grim anticipation
To hoping that some joys remain.

For nothing ever lasts forever
Not loneliness not heat of night
Inching back towards sensation
Stretching out into the light.
