To my surprise
And my delight
I saw a sunrise
I saw a sunlight
I am nothing
In the dark
And the clouds burst
To show the daylight
Ooh, and the sun will shine
Yeah, on this heart of mine
Ooh, and I realize
Who couldn't live without
Ooh, come apart without it
On a hilltop
On a sky rise
Like a first-born
Child
And at full tilt
And in full flight
Defeat darkness
Breaking the daylight
Ooh, and the sun will shine
Yeah, on this heart of mine
Ooh, and I realize
Who couldn't live without
Ooh, come apart without
Daylight
Slowly breaking through the daylight
Slowly breaking through the daylight
Slowly breaking through the daylight
Slowly breaking through the daylight
Slowly breaking through the daylight
Slowly breaking through the daylight
Slowly breaking through the daylight
Slowly breaking through the daylight
Slowly breaking through the daylight
Slowly breaking through the daylight
Slowly breaking through the daylight
Slowly breaking through the daylight
Slowly breaking through the daylight
Slowly breaking through the daylight
Slowly breaking through the daylight
Slowly breaking through the daylight
Slowly breaking through the daylight
Slowly breaking through the daylight
Slowly breaking through the daylight
Slowly breaking through the daylight
Slowly breaking through the daylight
