It was a cold dark night when the angels came
Held my mother's hand and they called her name
It's a brand new world now that she's gone
See the fire of her colors in the brand new dawn
I'll hold to the string between the dark and the light
I'll wait for the someday, for the beautiful sight
One dance through the door, one gone in the night
Say goodbye to the dark, say hello to the light
There's a world of pain, there's a world of tears
There's also a time when the pain disappears
The reunion waits like a brand new dawn
Let the sun come up, let the pain be gone
I'll hold to the string between the dark and the light
I'll wait for the someday, for the beautiful sight
One dance through the door, one gone in the night
Say goodbye to the dark, say hello to the light
There are stories unwritten, there are songs to be sung
In the eyes of the old, in the cries of the young
I'm moved by the faces of those who came before me
Take me off to their places, tell me their stories
I'll hold to the string between the dark and the light
I'll wait for the someday, for the beautiful sight
One dance through the door, one gone in the night
Say goodbye to the dark, say hello to the light
