Made it through another night
Woke up to the morning light
Streaming in the window on my face
Wish I could come up with a smile
Might be nice once in a while
But I can’t find a reason in this place
Each day I pray tomorrow will be better
And when tomorrow comes
Things never really change
I wait for night to fall and still
I’m begging it not to
‘Cause the wind gets that much colder
I get one day older
And I can’t get any closer to you

You wonder where it all went wrong
Been alone for far too long
Didn’t even get the chance to say goodbye
And you’re staring at the door
Praying it will open just once more
So you can get one last look in those eyes
Each day you pray tomorrow will be better
And when tomorrow comes
Things never really change
You wait for night to fall and still
You’re begging it not to
‘Cause the wind gets that much colder
You get one day older
And you can’t get any closer to who you?re missing

Though hope for the future seems a figment of your imagination
The only future you can see looks like a nightmare on its way
Leave it in Jesus’ hand
His promises still stand
He’ll never walk away
This one life is the only chance you’ll get
And you don’t want to waste it dreading the sunset
Sunset

As the sun’s going down, you hear all around
Music in the air filling your ears with memory’s sound
It’s his voice, it’s his smile
Tears of peace fill your eyes as you hear

All you saw was pain, all you saw was rain
But, you should see me now
Moments filled with tears, lasted all those years
Disappeared somehow
You never said goodbye, on your knees you cry
You’re still asking why

But, blue has never been bluer
True has never been truer
Honey never tasted so sweet
There’s a song in the breeze
A million voices in praise
A rose has never smelled redder
The sun has never been brighter
If I could find the right words to say
If you could look at my face
If you could just see this place
You wouldn’t cry for me today

When hope for the future seems a figment of your imagination
Look up and hear my voice and I’ll tell you what I see

I see His face, I hear His voice
I see the nail prints in His hands– symbols of that loving choice
I walk the streets of purest gold
The pearly gates have opened my eyes to beauty untold

This is just a sunrise to a new life (2x)

Blue has never been bluer, true has never been truer
A rose has never smelled redder
The sun has never been brighter
If I could find the right words to say
If you could look at my face
If you could just see this place
You wouldn’t cry for me today

This is just a sunrise (3x)
