And They Say, the Darkest Hour Is Just Before the Dawn

And they say,
The darkest hour
Is just before the dawn,

Before the glow of morning sunlight,
Can break a night time spell,

And they say,
The darkest hour
Is just before the dawn,

When night time feels it has no end,
And on our knees, we pray for the day,

And they say,
The darkest hour
Is just before the dawn,

Just before,

The sky starts to glow,

And the Blackbird
Sings,
