Tonight

Tonight It seems we can talk for hours And never find a solution It’s so late, but I’m wide awake Within my mind a revolution In the middle with no way out Only time tells the story I am part of the cast, but can I last Will I live to share the glory? Tonight, the world ceases to turn Tonight, I see how much I must learn Tonight, I’m facing reality Tonight, there’s nothing to set me free It’s times like these I must survive Make it through the night Watch for the sun, it’s sure to come To turn things around and make them right The birds have started singing A sign morning is on the way I still need to dream Or will I wake with a scream on the new day Tonight, the world ceases to turn Tonight, I see how much I must learn Tonight, I’m facing reality Tonight, there’s nothing to set me free I’ve seen the top of the world And it’s higher up than I’ve ever been But I’ve been through the longest, darkest nights Caught in a web of sin Now I’m somewhere in between I reach for the top but I’m pulled back down I don’t believe some of the things I’ve seen I don’t know if tomorrow will ever come around For right now, I’m frightened Someone show me how To fight off the pain That runs through my brain tonight…
