Assurance and hope after a period of darkness

Lyrics

Now Comes the Dawn
By John O'Boyle

NOW COMES THE DAWN,
NOW COMES THE BREAK OF LIGHT
AND LIFE INTO THE DAY
THAT PUSHES ALL THE DARK AWAY
WITH STREAKS SO BRIGHT
THEY BURST ACROSS THE SKY,
AND ALL THE MIDNIGHT TERRORS
MELT LIKE MIST INTO THE DAWN.

NOW COMES THE DAY
THAT'S SO MUCH CLEARER
THAN THE MANY OTHER DAYS
THAT YOU HAVE EVER LIVED BEFORE.
A FRESH, SWEET WIND
WILL BREATHE ACROSS YOUR FACE,
AND EVERY PRECIOUS MOMENT
SEEMS TO PROMISE SOMETHING MORE.
NOW COMES THE DAY.

WHAT IF ALL THE THINGS YOU FEAR WOULD SIMPLY DISAPPEAR?
WHAT IF ALL YOUR HOPES WERE MORE THAN TRUE?
WHAT IF WHEN YOU LOOKED INTO THE LONLINESS YOU FEEL
YOU FOUND NOTHING BUT GREAT LOVE SURROUNDING YOU?

THIS IS THE DAWN
WHEN ALL THE DREAMS YOU EVER DREAMED
COULD NOW COME TRUE.
THERE'S NOTHING STOPPING THEM FOR YOU.
YOU'RE NOW AWAKE, SO YOU CAN LIVE THEM ALL,
AND BIGGER DREAMS YOU NEVER DREAMED,
THEY ALSO WILL COME TRUE.
NOW COMES THE DAWN.
