Dolly Parton - Dark Night Bright Future Lyrics

Dark night, bright future
Like the phoenix from the ashes, I shall rise again
Dark night, bright future
I've been hurt and broken but I am on the mend
Got so much ahead of me
The past is gonna set me free
Learn from it and just believe
That I can touch the sky

Everyone knows happiness
Everybody grieves
We all cry, we all smile
Everybody bleeds
Everybody has a past, things they wanna hide
There's give, take, love, hate in each and every life

Dark night, bright future
Like the phoenix from the ashes, I shall rise again
Dark night, bright future
I've been hurt and broken, but I am on the mend
Got so much ahead of me
What's in the past, I'll leave it be
Learn from it and just believe
That I can touch the sky

(Dark night) forgiveness is a magic wand, makes things disappear
(Bright future)kindness wipes away regret, hope can conquer fear
(Dark night)tenderness, a soothing balm, healing wounds and scars
Love says we can start anew right from where we are

Dark night, bright future
I'm on my way, I start today
I'm gonna be alright
Dark night (dark night), bright future (bright future)
It's darkest just before the light
And though it's been a long dark night
Blue sky on the other side

Dark night (dark night), bright future (bright future)
Like the phoenix from the ashes, I shall rise again
Dark night (dark night), bright future (bright future)
I've been hurt and broken
But I am on the mend (dark night, bright future)
