Dark Days

                                  I didn't know it could get so dark so fast

But from here on its not gonna last

The days are getting longer and I'll have my time 



Tomorrow is not far away

From where I stand all alone today

Just add another minute for the sun to shine



My shadow falls hard against this world

It leads me to a special place

It looks away from the shortest day

But it stares right back in my face 

The sun at my back gives me a long look 

And it won't fail me now

I'm walking straight to a warm embrace 

To a day that's never gonna end at all 



Don't you feel the chill lift from the air

The sky shines clear to someplace where

There will be no more waiting for the night to end



I didn't know I could get so far so fast

Overcome my shadow and walked right past 

Straight into the sunlight

'Cause I know my own way now 

I know the darkness will return 

The numbing cold and the freezing burn 

The days are getting shorter 

But I know that I will last
