The darkness surrounds you,
And it’s hard to break away
It’s hard to claw through,
It’s hard to slay

And it’s hard to break away
Bid light adieu; forget all that you knew
It’s hard to slay
You know that it’s true

Bid light adieu; forget all that you knew
The darkness keeps the light at bay
You know it’s true
But still, you say:

“The darkness keeps the light at bay,
It makes things harder to go through,”
But still, you say:
“My mind is askew,

It makes things harder to go through,
Everything is astray.”
“My mind is askew,
But the darkness will not make me decay.”

“Everything is astray,
And I may feel blue,
But the darkness will not make me decay.
I will get through it, that’s true.”

“And I may feel blue,
But today’s a good day,
Because I will get through it, that’s true.”
The light will come to drive the darkness away.

But today’s a good day,
Though it’s hard to claw through.
The light will come to drive the darkness away,
Even when the darkness surrounds you.
