The Next Right Thing

I've seen dark before, but not like this

This is cold, this is empty, this is numb

The life I knew is over, the light's are out

Hello, darkness, I'm ready to succumb

I follow you around, I always have

But you've gone to a place I cannot find

This grief has a gravity

It pulls me down

♪

But a tiny voice whispers in my mind

"You are lost, hope is gone

But you must go on

And do the next right thing"

♪

Can there be a day beyond this night?

I don't know anymore what is true

I can't find my direction, I'm all alone

The only star that guided me was you

How to rise from the floor

When it's not you I'm rising for?

Just do the next right thing, take a step, step again

It is all that I can to do the next right thing

I won't look too far ahead

It's too much for me to take

But break it down to this next breath, this next step

This next choice is one that I can make

So I'll walk through this night

Stumbling blindly toward the light

And do the next right thing

And with the dawn, what comes then?

When it's clear that everything will never be the same again

Then I'll make the choice

To hear that voice

And do the next right thing
