Lighter From Here Lyrics

In late December, the sun refused to show

This frosty winter has cut us to the bone

But maybe we've felt the worst

We've been to the bottom

Maybe we'd take the hurt and the loss

For all that they have taught us

And if what lies behind is the darkest night

Of a long and brutal year

We'll keep our eyes on the horizon

It's all getting lighter from here

It's all getting lighter

The skies will be brighter

The days will be kinder from here

We pull the embers into the New Year's fire

We will remember how wind and flame conspired

To bring our bodies close

And bind our hearts together

Send everything that's gone up in smoke

Give us hope for warmer weather

And if what lies behind is the darkest night

Of a long and brutal year

We'll keep our eyes on the horizon

It's all getting lighter from here

It's all getting lighter

The skies will be brighter

The days will be kinder from here

Will be kinder from here

Hold on to me

Hold on

Hold on to me, my love

Hold on to me

Hold on

Hold on to me, my love

It's all getting lighter

The skies will be brighter

The days will be kinder from here
