-4 5*    6    6 -6*  7*   -8  -8  7*  -8 
I have lived in the dark-ness for so long
-8   -8  7*   6  -7    7* -6*   6
I'm wait-in' for the light to shine
6   6   6   7* -6* 6  -4  -4   -4
Far be-yond hor-i-zons I have seen
7* -6*   6    5*     6    6
Be-yond the things I've been
-6*  6   5*  -4     4*    -4
Be-yond the dreams I've dreamed
-4  -3    -2*   -4   6
Are the things I've done
6   -6*  7*  -7  7* -6*  6
In fact each and ev-‘ry one
6    7* -8   7*  6 -7    7*  -6*  6
Are the way that I was taught to run
-8-8  -8   8* -8   7*   6   7*   7*
I am wait-ing for the light to shine
7*-6* -6*  6   6  -6*   6   5*  -4
I am wait-ing for the light to shine
-4 5*    6   6  -6*  7*   -8  -8  7*  -8
I have lived in the dark-ness for so long
-8   -8   7*  6  -7    7* -6*   6
I'm wait-ing for the light to shine
