Day and Night

Verse 1

The world keeps moving while I stand still,

Another sunrise climbing over the hill.

Day turns to night, then night turns to day,

Yet the weight in my heart never fades away.

Every morning brings a battle untold,

A thousand worries that never grow old.

In a world filled with fear, so far from the light,

I search for peace until the fall of night.

Chorus

Why can’t the day become the night so fast?

Why can’t the moments of peace finally last?

When I close my eyes, the pain slips away,

But it waits at the door with the break of day.

In my dreams I can see a world that’s whole,

A place where hope still lives inside my soul.

Why can’t the night forever stay?

Why must the darkness give birth to the day?

Verse 2

I walk through shadows that nobody sees,

Carrying burdens with every breeze.

I wonder how long this road will go on,

Fighting a battle that feels never done.

Yet somewhere beyond the storm and the rain,

Beyond all the sorrow, beyond all the pain,

A voice keeps whispering, quiet and small,

“Keep taking one step, don’t surrender it all.”

Chorus

Why can’t the day become the night so fast?

Why can’t the moments of peace finally last?

When I close my eyes, the pain slips away,

But it waits at the door with the break of day.

In my dreams I can see a world that’s whole,

A place where hope still lives inside my soul.

Why can’t the night forever stay?

Why must the darkness give birth to the day?
