Chorus:
Rise into the light
In or out of time
(With the little strength inside me)
Gonna find my way in life

In or out of time
(With the little strength inside of me, yeah)

I'm gonna see the light
I'm gonna see the light
I'm gonna see the light
'Cause I know there is time
There is time, there is time
There is time, there is time
There is time, there is time
There is time, there is time
There is time, there is time
There is time, there is time
There is time, there is time
This time, this time
This time, this time
This time, this time

To the light, through the light
To the light, through the light
Through the light, through the light
Through the light
To the light, through the light
To the light, through the light
Straight through the light
