Dawning - The Big Bright Light.

Dark all around ~ Waiting for the dawning
The dawning of hope ~Heard some movements
Still total darkness ~ Heard more movements
Still hoping and waiting ~ Waiting for my light

The dawning of hope ~ Back to reality
There is a shadow ~ A big dark shadow

Leaving, not an option ~ But there is hope
It is a shadow ~ Not the big bright light
But this is hope ~ Hope of a nearby light
Some kind of light ~ Not the expected one
But this can do ~ At least for now
For there is hope ~ The dawning of hope

If this is really my life, or if I was pulled under

Some mysterious force of space and
