Sister, here's a song for the long night
Sister, here's a song for the longest night
Sister, here's a song for the long night
And I'll sing with you til the morning comes

Brother, here's a prayer for the long night...
And I'll pray with you til the morning comes
Mama, here's a dream for the long night...
And I'll dream with you til the morning comes

Father, what's your wish for the long night...
And I'll wish with you til the morning comes

Neighbor, here's a hand in the long night...
And I'll build with you til the morning comes





We will sing, we will pray
We will dream 'til the morning comes
