lyrics

[verse]
Let me get to day
This night is heavy
Let me see the light
I need relief
Shapes and shadows play
Where is your heaven?
Bounce around before me
Leave me under open sky

Lift my eyes from trouble
Catapult me from despair
Without hope I’m sinking slowly
But there’s brighter standing there
Capture glimpses of a future
Slight this frame you will no more
Shaky start but I’m convinced you’ll
Let me race to dawn once more

[chorus]
I’ll race from night
Right into you
I’ll get through this fight
I will
I’ll race from night
Right into you
I’ll get through
I will
I’ll race from night
Right into you
I’ll get through this fight
I will
I’ll race from night
Right into you
I’ll get through
I will

[verse]
Ladder to the sky I’m flying higher than I see
Begging when I reach the top
Deliver me from misery
Like a petal float me down
Feet back standing on the ground
Figure fitted for the fight
Help me race with all my might

[chorus]
I’ll race from night
Right into you
I’ll get through
I will
I’ll race from night
Right into you
I’ll get through
I will
I’ll race from night
Right into you
I’ll get through
I will
I’ll race from night
Right into you
I’ll get through
I will

[bridge]
When I get through night
I’ll see joy in the morning light
When I get through night
I will see
When I get through night
I’ll see joy in the morning light
When I get through night
Oh I will see
When I get through night
I’ll see joy in the morning light
When I get through night
Oh I will see
When I get through night
I’ll see joy in the morning light
When I get through night
I will see

[chorus]
I’ll race from night
Right into you
I’ll get through
I will
I’ll race from night
Right into you
I’ll get through
I will
