There's a light in the darkness
           Em                   Cm
Though the night is black as my skin
          G             B9   Em    G7/D        F#7(#9)
There's a light burning bright showing me the way

There's a cry in the distance
       Em                             Cm   Dm/C    Cm
It's a voice that comes from deep within

With the price, the price we had to pay

There's a dream in the future
          Em                      Cm Dm/C  Cm
There's a struggle we have yet to win
            G/D         B7#9/D#
And there's pride in my heart
       Em   G7/D        C      G/B   Am7
