[Verse 1]
Touch in the tenderest night
Before the feelings take flight
Touch and you make everything new
Everything bright, shiny and true

[Refrain]
Before the dawn and the light
Here comes the night

[Verse 2]
Here in my heart, I still breathe
Longing, a part of me I can't see
And if the heart cannot redeem
One soul apart, one separate dream

[Refrain]
Before the dawn and the light
Here comes the night

[Bridge]
Here we are waiting and longing
And crying out "I am more than just a man"
Building castles in the sand
All of us needing and leaving
Long before the break of day
So little time to say
I am—I know the way
And I wanna be somebody
Who can see forever
Wanna be somebody
Who can see forever
[Verse 3]
Here in the heart, I still dream
Here in the heart of life I seem
Somebody light, somebody new
Somebody bright, shiny and true
I wanna be somebody
Who can see forever
I wanna be somebody
Who can see forever

[Refrain]
Before the dawn and the light
Here comes the night
Before the dawn and the light
Here comes the night
