Lyrics Verified by Editorial Team
You had a smile that could light up the darkest room
Just by walking in
And I hear you say to yourself you'd give anything
To get it back again
Hold on
Can't you see the light of the dawn?
Pushing back the night with the morning sun
In the eastern sky, oh (Eastern sky)
All of the prayers streaming down from your weary eyes
He's heard every one
Right now, you're unaware, but you'll see when you get there
It's the breaking that makes you strong
Hold on
Can't you see the light of the dawn? (Light of the dawn)
Pushing back the night with the morning sun
In the eastern sky
You're gonna make it to the morning
You're gonna reach the other side
See that horizon getting brighter
All you've got to do is, all you've got to do is
Hold on
Can't you see the light of the dawn?
Pushing back the night with the morning sun
In the eastern sky
No one (No one)
Can stop what God is doing in you (Doing in you)
Turning something old into something new
Sure as the sun's gonna rise
In the eastern sky
