Light Up

Light up, light up the dark
 And even when you think you're lost
 Hope is blazing in the night
 Illuminating
 So you never go astray
 Ain't no use livin' in the past
 As a slave to yesterday
 All's been said, it's done at last
 Been faded into grey
 The road to Hell, I know it well
 I've been there half my life
 On a street of dreams, and useless schemes
 My hopes have been denied
 But there ain't no use complaining
 'Cos it don't do any good
 It's about time to start reclaiming
 To take back all that once was mine
 Light up, light up the dark
 And even when you think you're lost
 Hope is blazing in the night
 Illuminating
 So you never go astray
 It's the rising dawn, let the night be gone
 Gotta wash those blues away
 Down on heartbreak ridge, fallen off the ledge
 For a spell I went astray
 But there ain't no use complaining
 'Cos it don't do any good
 It's about time to start reclaiming
 To take back all that once was mine
 Light up, light up the dark
 And even when you think you're lost
 Hope is blazing in the night
 Illuminating
 So you never go astray
 Looking back on wasted years
 Wading through the fallen tears
 All rivers run into the sea
 Of new begotten mysteries
 So breathe
 Light up, light up the dark
 And even when you think you're lost
 Hope is blazing in the night
 Illuminating
 So you never go astray
