In the clearing you find
That dawn has arrived
And in the silence you know
You have survived
You sit down and sigh
As the morning sun rises
The road has been long
And full of surprises
You’d like to go home
there’s still a long way
This isn’t the end
You’ve lived to see another day
The trees seem to hum
And the morning dew glitter
You can’t believe you wanted to be done
can’t believe you used to be so bitter
It’s time to get up now
Time to start walking
There’s a long way home
And no time for stopping
Things will get better
At the end of this road
You will find a place to rest
A place to unload
That dawn has arrived
And in the silence you know
You have survived
You sit down and sigh
As the morning sun rises
The road has been long
And full of surprises
You’d like to go home
there’s still a long way
This isn’t the end
You’ve lived to see another day
The trees seem to hum
And the morning dew glitter
You can’t believe you wanted to be done
can’t believe you used to be so bitter
It’s time to get up now
Time to start walking
There’s a long way home
And no time for stopping
Things will get better
At the end of this road
You will find a place to rest
A place to unload
