The Light Will Come

Seems like such a long time
I've been waiting for the dawning
Waiting in the dark, for a spark to say it's coming
Wide awake and watching
And a-hoping and a-praying
Listening in the stillness, to my mamma's voice who's saying

Hold on, the light will come
Hold on, the night will never last forever
Cause the morning mists are lifting
And the sun insists on sifting down the sky
Hold on the light is coming, by and by
Hold on the light is coming, by and by

Soon it's gonna be here
The night time will be done
First bird on the branches, is the first to see the sun
I hear that bird a-chirping
And I listen to it's song
And standing by the window, I just have to sing along

Hold on, the light will come
Hold on, the night will never last forever
Cause the morning mists are lifting
And the sun insists on sifting down the sky
Hold on the light is coming, by and by
Hold on the light is coming
Hold on the light is coming
Hold on the light is coming by and by,
By and by, by and by
