[Verse 1]
I felt the ocean closing in around me
I was lost and I was drowning
I could hear the water pounding
Surrounding me

[Pre-Chorus]
I was swallowed up in my despair
A pain I've never known
Oh, I'm sinking but
I'm not made of stone

[Chorus]
And I hold onto hope, I'm not alone
I know my faith will take me home
And I'm going to fight harder than I cry, yeah
Love is enough, I won't give up
I'm going to hold my head above

[Post-Chorus]
I believe that even through the darkest night
The sun will rise, oh

[Verse 2]
I get the no sign
Now and then that it's too late, oh
And the world can be a cruel place
But I'm holding out for new days
Yeah and I break the chain, oh
[Pre-Chorus]
Cause I can feel the darkness lift
The truth is going to shine
And until then
I know that I'll survive

[Chorus]
And I hold onto hope, I'm not alone
I know my faith will take me home
And I'm going to fight harder than I cry, yeah
Love is enough, I won't give up
I'm going to hold my head above

[Post-Chorus]
I believe that even through the darkest night
The sun will rise, oh, oh, oh

[Bridge]
When I open up my eyes
And I'm looking to sky
And I know that
It's about that time, oh

[Chorus]
And I hold onto hope, I'm not alone
I know my faith will take me home
And I'm going to fight harder than I cry, yeah
Love is enough, I won't give up
I'm going to hold my head above
[Outro]
I believe that even through the darkest night
The sun will rise, oh, oh, oh, oh
Oh yeah, the sun will rise, oh, oh, oh
