I could not turn away from the light
Although it blinded my eyes (It blinded!)
It burned my heart
And it burned my heart (It burns!)
Do not stare at me for I am dark,
I am darkened by the sun (I cannot turn away)
It's just the beginning!
Arise - the season of singing has just begun
Arise - throw open, throw open the doors
Here in pain we grow ever stronger
I can see your face against the night
Oh how you make, you make me feel alive
Lift up your eyes, this strength will carry us on
Until He gives us rest,
this is the best we have -
From the depths of pain comes the answer
The sick and the living, they cry out together
Against the night, your face is brighter
Against the night, the way seems clearer
This is who we are
(Against the night)
This - who we are
(Against the night)
Take my hand (take my hand)
The sky reflects in your eyes
Take my hand (take my hand)
Because this is who we are
Oh!
This is how you make me feel
(I'm alive)
Oh!
I'm alive
(Who we are)
(Oh how you make me feel
Oh how you make me feel alive)
So far away, I'm
still shouting out your name
So far away, in this heart of mine
