Arise, sunlight Set the sky on golden fire Burn away the violet light This could be our last goodbye This could be our last alive Fading like the smoke from a candle's wick, The dawn alert came on a quiet wind I ran for the horizon, I ran for the horizon The sound of separation ringing in my ears, A colorless world had forgot to hear As clear as daylight, clear as daylight Today is the brightest, the brightest that I've ever known I followed, I followed the sun All the way home In rays of golden light were the words you spoke A witness in the sky was the promised hope You'll fly shining, you'll fly shining When the day breathed last in the cloudburst sky I saw you like the sun in the shadows, Shining, shining Today is the brightest, the brightest that I've ever known I followed, I followed the sun All the way home Today is the brightest, the brightest that I've ever known I followed, I followed the sun All the way home
