Dark Days

I didn't know it could get so dark so fastBut from here on its not gonna lastThe days are getting longer and I'll have my timeTomorrow is not far awayFrom where I stand all alone todayJust add another minute for the sun to shineMy shadow falls hard against this worldIt leads me to a special placeIt looks away from the shortest dayBut it stares right back in my faceThe sun at my back gives me a long lookAnd it won't fail me nowI'm walking straight to a warm embraceTo a day that's never gonna end at allDon't you feel the chill lift from the airThe sky shines clear to someplace whereThere will be no more waiting for the night to endI didn't know I could get so far so fastOvercome my shadow and walked right pastStraight into the sunlight'Cause I know my own way nowI know the darkness will returnThe numbing cold and the freezing burnThe days are getting shorterBut I know that I will last
