Saw you standing in a storm
Rain beat upon you
The winds howled your name
I reach for you
But I reach in vain
You've long been drowned
In a sea of shame
Some say it's better to end it
Than to keep carrying on
I say, hold on
Hold on
Hold on
Night is darkest before dawn, yeah
Hold on
Hold on
Hold on
The night is darkest before dawn, yeah
Hold on
Hold on
Hold on

What words can I say?
What song can I play?
What words can I say?
What song can I play?
To make you understand
Just how beautiful you really are
The night is darkest before dawn
You gotta hold on
Hold on
Hold on

I'll be your fire, fire fire
To warm you up
Water, water, water
To cool you down
Fire, fire, fire
To warm you up
Water, water, water
To cool you down
Fire, fire
I'll be there for you
I'll be there for you
I'll be there for you
(scatting)

Oh, God, I reach out my hands
But you say I never understand
And I know that I never could
I only want you to know
That I am there for you
And I'll do everything that I can do
(scatting)
I'm there for you

Saw you standing in a storm
The rain beat upon you
The winds howled your name
I reach for you
But I reach in vain
You've long been blinded
By your own self blame
I reach for you
But I reach in vain
You've long been drowning
In a sea of shame
Some say it's better to end it
Than to keep carrying on
I say, hold on
Hold on
Hold on
Night is darkest before dawn
Hold on
Hold on
Hold on
Night is darkest before dawn
Hold on
Hold on
Hold on
The night is darkest before dawn
Hold on
Hold on
Hold on
Please hold on
Hold on
Hold on

What words can I say?
What song can I play?
What words can I say?
What song can I play?
To make you understand
Just how beautiful you really are
The night is darkest before dawn
You gotta hold on
Hold on
Hold on
Hold on

I'll be your fire, fire fire
To warm you up
Water, water, water
To cool you down
Fire, fire, fire
To warm you up
Water, water, water
To cool you down
Fire, fire, fire
To warm you up
Water, water, water
To cool you down
Fire, fire
I'll be there for you
I'll be there for you
I'll be there for you

I hear you crying every day
I wish there was something I could do or say
I only want to be the light
That visits this, your darkest night
(scatting)

The night is darkest before dawn
Hold on
Hold on
Hold on
Hold on
Hold on
