At dawn, I’ll win; yet the night long, The blackness strong. But dawn will come, like yesterday, it will come.

Neither do I belong, nor do i want to trudge along, to the night glum. At dawn, I’ll win.

The night forlong, Despair prolong, With You, I’ll overcome, I shall welcome, Your promise with a song. At dawn, I’ll win.

The night may be long. Your troubles may seem unending.

But know for sure that dawn will come. Your troubles will come to a peaceful resolution.

Have confidence in Him, that He is watching over you, every second of your life.
