A barren lining in the darkness A weakness in our lives The shade of dusk can make us feel alone Hopeless shaking in the dark clouds You open up my eyes You hold me up to understand You say, "hold on, hold on" Your open arms will shield the winter You open up my eyes Without despair we hold the path You say "hold on, hold on" But I can hardly see the vacant expression in their eyes I'm not losing all the things that ever mattered to me Hopeful moving through the cold light You've opened my eyes The mist will be clearing and the light will shine through.
