The Dark Before the Dawn

I've been waiting for the sun
 To come blazing up out of the night like a bullet from a gun
 'Til every shadow is scattered, every dragon's on the run
 Oh, I believe, I believe that the light is gonna come
 And this is the dark, this is the dark before the dawn (ooh, ooh)
 ♪
 I've been waiting for some peace
 To come raining down out of the heavens on these war-torn fields
 All creation is aching for the sons of God to be revealed
 Oh, I believe, I believe that the victory is sealed
 The serpent struck, but it was crushed beneath His heel
 Oh, I know the wind can bring the lightning
 Oh, I know the lightning brings the rain
 Oh, I know the storm can be so frightening
 But that same wind is gonna blow that storm away
 Blow that storm away (ooh, ooh)
 Lord, I'm waiting for a change (ooh, ooh)
 I'm waiting for Your change
 So I'm waiting for the King
 To come galloping out of the clouds while the angel armies sing
 He's gonna gather His people in the shadow of His wings
 And I'm gonna raise my voice with the song of the redeemed
 'Cause all this darkness is a small and passing thing
 This is the storm, this is the storm, the storm before the calm
 This is the pain, the pain before the balm
 This is the cold, the cold, it's the cold before the warm
 These are the tears, the tears before the song
 This is the dark (ooh)
 Sometimes all I see is this darkness (ooh)
 Well, can't you feel the darkness? (Ooh)
 This is the dark before the dawn (ooh)
 
 I'm just waiting for a change, change (ooh)
 Lord, I'm waiting for the change
 I had a dream that I was waking at the burning edge of dawn
 And I could see the fields of glory
 I could hear the sower's song
 I had a dream that I was waking at the burning edge of dawn
 And all that rain had washed me clean
 All the sorrow was gone
 I had a dream that I was waking at the burning edge of dawn
 And I could finally believe the king had loved me all along
 I had a dream that I was waking at the burning edge of dawn
 I saw the sower in the silver mist
 He was calling me home (ooh-ooh)
