Next To Normal feat. Adam Chanler-Berat, Alice Ripley, J. Robert Spencer, Jennifer Damiano and Louis Hobson Lyrics
"Light"

Natalie:
We need some light.
First of all,
We need some light.
You can't sit here
In the dark,
And all alone,
It's a sorry sight.
It's just you and me.
We'll live.
You'll see.

Dan:
Night after night,
We'd sit and wait
For the morning light.
But we've waited far too long
For all that's wrong
To be made right.

Diana:
Day after day,
Wishing all our cares away.
Trying to fight the things we feel,
But some hurts never heal.
Some ghosts are never gone,
But we go on.
We still go on.

And you find some way to survive.
And you find out you don't have
To be happy at all,
To be happy you're alive.

Natalie:
Day after day,
Give me clouds, and rain, and grey.
Give me pain if that's what's real—

Natalie & Doctor Madden:
It's the price we pay to feel.

Doctor Madden & Diana:
The price of love is loss...

Doctor Madden:
But still we pay...

Doctor Madden & Dan:
We love anyway...

Gabe:
And when they night has fin'ly gone,
And when we see the new day dawn,
We'll wonder how we wandered for
So long, so blind.
The wasted world we thought we knew—
The light will make it look brand new.

All:
So let it...
Let it...
Let it...
Shine!
Shine!
Shine!

Day after day,
We'll find the will to find our way,
Knowing that the darkest sky
Will someday see the sun—

Dan:
When our long night is done...

Dan & Natalie:
There will be light...

Dan, Diana & Natalie:
There will be light.

All:
When we open up our lives,
Sons and daughters,
Husbands, wives—
And fight that fight...
There will be light.

There will be light...
There will be light...
There will be light!
