A Glimmer of Light

I have seen the dark of night
And I have seen the light of day.
I’ve wondered down an unknown path
And many times I have lost my way.
I have seen in the dead of winter
The days as they grow longer.
And I have seen in the black of night
A glimmer of light grow stronger.

Oh a glimmer of light, oh a glimmer of light
A glimmer of light grow stronger.
Oh a glimmer of light, oh a glimmer of light
A glimmer of light grow stronger.

Well I could live a thousand years
And the answers to life would escape me.
I would find no key to unlock for me
The wisdom that seems beyond me.
Well I could look all day up to the sky
And never see the light,
That’s ‘cause only in the black of night
Will a glimmer of light grow stronger.

Oh a glimmer of light, oh a glimmer of light
A glimmer of light grow stronger.
Oh a glimmer of light, oh a glimmer of light
A glimmer of light grow stronger.

Sometimes I’ve taken a long dark road
To get back to where I belong.
A perilous road that leads nowhere,
It’s as bleak as it is long.
And though I’ve walked between the light and the dark
I will walk their again no longer,
Because I know at the end of the road
A glimmer of light grows stronger.

Oh a glimmer of light, oh a glimmer of light
A glimmer of light grows stronger.
Oh a glimmer of light, oh a glimmer of light
A glimmer of light grows stronger.
A glimmer of light grows stronger.
A glimmer of light grows stronger.
