I wish that I could find something beautiful in this mess
A hope for something better than this dark emptiness
Like a newborn child to hold after all the pain
Like the bluest sky to see after all the rain

(Chorus)
Don’t surrender to the darkness
Hold on till the break of dawn
Don’t surrender to the darkness
The change will come, it won’t be long
No, don’t surrender

I know there’s always someone cynical
Who’ll try to steal your hope
Sometimes it overwhelms and you feel that you just can’t cope
But even the strongest winds cannot blow you down
If you stand strong knowing the change will come around

(Chorus)

(Bridge)
If I should sink to the darkest depths
I know it won’t be long
Before I’ll rise and I’ll be strong


Don’t you let them steal your hope
Don’t you let them break you down
The change will come around

(Chorus)
(Outro)
Just hold on, hold
Hold on till the break of dawn

Don’t you give up till you find your way
Don’t give in to the darkest day
Don’t give in to the dead of night
Don’t give up until you win the fight

If you should sink to the darkest depths
Don’t give in, don’t give up, don’t surrender
