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
