There's a new moon on the rise
And it's trying to catch your eye
Just a whisper in the dark of what's to come
This old world is spinning fast
Like a train that's flying past and it seems not even hope is holding on
Now the night feels like forever
But soon the sun will come around
Make your heart a little lighter
Darling, lay your burden down
Troubles slipped into your stride
Shook you, mixed you up inside
Stole the light that let you see that you were strong
You don't think you'll make it through
But if you let me carry you
I'll take you far enough to see that you were loved
Now the night feels like forever
But soon the sun will come around
Make your heart a little lighter
Darling, lay your burden down
Though it's dark
And I don't know where we're going to
Time can be cruel if you're standing still
Now the night feels like forever
But soon the sun will come around
Make your heart a little lighter
Darling, lay your burden down
