I don't know if I'm ready to face this life on my own I trace paths of uncertainty To conquer the unknown Step by weary step I fall I cannot do this alone With steadfast heart I seek your call Repeat this mantra day by day I will not go softly I will not go softly I will not go softly I will not go softly into that good night I will not go softly Knock me down and I will keep on fighting until this day becomes the night Failure's born to shine the sun on lies of pride that shade the truth. Nothing can't be overcome. I count my weakness as my strength. (chorus) As amber sun sets in my eyes, I will shut my mind to the fear inside. And I will rage against the approaching night. I will chase the light. I will chase the light. (chorus)
