Lyrics

Push On for the Dawn

Sometimes when I close my eyes

I see your face and I see mine

Warm as the sun

I don’t know if I’m waking or sleeping

I don’t know if I’m thinking or dreaming

I just follow the sun

Sometimes when I’m in the dark

The thought of you is a tiny spark

Keeps me walking in the dark

Push on for the dawn

The night is silent

But dawn comes blazing in

It blooms like a flower

It burns to the heart of me

And everyday is our adventure

Keep pushing on

For everyday I want to thank you

You’re pushing me on

'cause you bring me joy

Everyday is a new beginning

Everyday is a chance to start again

Till time descends like a curtain, calling: “It’s the end”

Sometimes when the pain is gone

We move really slow just to carry on

You can go ahead if you want to

But I’ll be a river

My head in the mountains

My feet on the shore

Midnight when the lake is black

The moon and stars are reflected back

Into the night sky

So is my life, Lord

Reflected back to you

The life that was never mine

A move on the water

A whisper into the night

Everyday is our adventure

Keep pushing on

For everyday I want to thank you

You’re pushing me on

'cause you bring me joy

Everyday is a new beginning

Everyday is a chance to start again

Till time descends like a curtain calling: “It’s the end”

When love unveils its heart and shows you it is friend

When all I want to do is be dancing again

Keep pushing on
