It Was Music All Along Aurelio Voltaire

The darkness was shattered
By a soft, sweet, melody
A dead branch lowered
As I watch the gloom retreat
And I didn't see it then, my friend
But it happened again

In the dark of this forest
Where we all try to cope
The soft sounds of singing
Gave the hopeless hope
And it filled my ears
Opened my eyes
And now I realize

It was a song, just a song
That made our hearts grow strong
When things were black
What pushed it back?
It was music all along
To carry on, carry on
Lose yourself in a song
And when things get grim
All you need's a hymn
A shanty or a song
To carry on
