WHEN DARKNESS COMES

Music/Lyrics by Sam Carroll

I am afraid
To lose all I hold dear
I have looked you in the eyes
And I’ve seen the time is near

But we’ve come this far
To fight for a better world
Now is not the time to forget
Of the dreams and hope we’re fighting for
The future can be so much more

So take my hand now and join with me
I know much is lost and it’s hard to see
But we’re together so may our spirits rise
There’s not a shadow we can’t bring to its demise

It’s time to fly
It’s time to chase down the highest storm
Be not a frozen ember
Shed the night and chase the morn
It’s time to soar
Run till there’s no fear anymore
Be not lost in anger
Shed the night and chase the morn

(Our strength will rise when darkness comes
Our strength will rise when darkness comes
Our strength will rise when darkness comes
Our strength will rise when darkness comes
When day is lost and shadows won
And the drums of war have just begun
Our strength will rise when darkness comes
Our strength will rise when darkness comes)

I am not a stranger to fear
But I hear what bravery is
It’s not the absence of fate or worry
But the choice to take the very step
that brings your greatest nightmares near

So here we are
Fighting for a better world
And though we cannot see the progress yet
We cannot stop till this is done
The damage healed, the battle won

So take my hand now and join with me
I know much is lost and it’s hard to see
But we’re together so may our spirits rise
There’s not a shadow we can’t bring to its demise

It’s time to fly
It’s time to chase down the highest storm
Be not a frozen ember
Shed the night and chase the morn
It’s time to soar
Run till there’s no fear anymore
Be not lost in anger
Shed the night and chase the morn

Our strength will rise when darkness comes
Our strength will rise when darkness comes
Our strength will rise when darkness comes
Our strength will rise
