Story Behind The Song
Lady calls me Saturday night. Had not heard from her for ages. She says, "I've just come out of the darkness." I want her to eventually sing this song but I think I've captured the spirit of that conversation.

Lyrics
Out of the darkness
© 2010 Bruce Mills (SOCAN/BMI)
Out of the darkness
And into the light
No more confusion
Everything is all right
Out of the desert
And into the rain
Forest of shelter
Keep me safely within
Chorus:
Sunrise and sunset
Blessed light of the day
Please take all my sadness
And hide it away!
Out of the darkness
And into the light
Oh, Spirit - fill me
Little candle burn bright
//2
Up from the valley
To the top of the mountains
From troubled waters
To the peaceful deep (sleep)
Out of the dark night, oh yeah!
And into the day time
Clear blue skies
As far as the eyes / as the eyes can see
Chorus:
Sunrise and sunset
Blessed light of the day
Please take all my sadness
And hide it away!
Until tomorrow
When I am stronger, oh yeah!
When I can be
All that you made (need) me to be
Out of the darkness
And, into the light
No more confusion, no, no, no
Everything gonna be all right
CODA:
Time is the distance
From here to forever
From yesterday
To where I am right at this moment, oh yeah
Another tomorrow - will soon come again (along)
Please give me comfort - oh, Lord! let healing begin (and help me be strong)
