One More Sunrise Coming Your Way

Verse 1

He sat alone at the kitchen table,

Coffee cold in a chipped-up cup,

There were bills piled high by the telephone,

And a heart that couldn't get back up.

He'd been fighting shadows since Sunday morning,

Couldn't tell you what he was fighting for,

But he heard his old man's voice in his memory say,

"Son, don't you quit on me anymore."

Chorus

So hold on, just a little longer,

Let the night run out of rain,

Sometimes the strongest hearts you know

Are the ones that break in pain.

You may feel like you're lost and forgotten,

Like nobody knows your name,

But there's a little more road around the bend,

And one more sunrise coming your way.

Verse 2

She drove down that old two-lane highway,

With tears running down her face,

She'd been smiling for everybody else,

While falling apart inside that place.

She pulled off underneath an oak tree,

And whispered, "Lord, I can't do this alone."

Then her old friend called on the telephone,

Said, "Girl, you don't have to go home alone."

Chorus

So hold on, just a little longer,

Let the night run out of rain,

Sometimes the strongest hearts you know

Are the ones that break in pain.

You may feel like you're lost and forgotten,

Like nobody knows your name,

But there's a little more road around the bend,

And one more sunrise coming your way.

Bridge

Now I ain't saying tomorrow's easy,

And I ain't saying the hurt won't stay,

But a heart can heal in places

You never thought it could someday.

So call somebody when you're hurting,

Let somebody sit beside you awhile,

You don't have to carry that whole world

Just to see another mile.

Verse 3

He still has days when the darkness finds him,

She still has nights when she cries,

But they learned that asking someone to listen

Can sometimes be what saves a life.

And there's a little porch light glowing

At the end of that winding road,

A reminder that somebody's waiting,

And you don't have to bear the load alone.

Final Chorus

So hold on, just a little longer,

Let the night run out of rain,

Sometimes the strongest hearts you know

Are the ones that break in pain.

You may feel like you're lost and forgotten,

Like nobody knows your name,

But there's a little more road around the bend,

And one more sunrise coming your way.

Outro

Yeah, there's a little more road around the bend,

So don't give up on the story's end.

The night ain't forever,

The dark ain't the same—

There's one more sunrise

Coming your way.
