The Sun Will Rise
Kelly Clarkson Feat. Kara DioGuardi Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I can feel the thought in your sigh
Your knuckles are bruised from a losing flight
One way down a dead end street
Broken glass underneath your feet
You think the day won't break the sunless night
The sun will rise
When you've lost your lights
The sun will rise
It'll be alright
It'll be alright
I've been in stuck in a storm before
Felt the wind raging at my door
Couldn't move, couldn't breathe, couldn't find a way out
Somehow my clouds disappeared
Somehow I made it here
Maybe just so you could hear me say
The sun will rise
The sun will rise (the sun will rise)
When you've lost your lights
The sun will rise
It'll be alright (it'll be alright)
It'll be alright
It'll be alright
It'll be alright
Although you can't see it
So hard to believe it
Sometimes you just need a little faith (all you need is a little faith)
There's an answer to your prayer
And I swear that there'll come a day, yeah
The sun will rise
The sun will rise (the sun will rise)
The sun will rise (the sun will rise)
The sun will rise
Yeah
The sun will rise
The sun will rise
It'll be alright
It'll be alright (yeah yeah)
It'll be alright (yeah yeah)
It'll be alright (yeah yeah)
It'll be alright
The sun will rise
