About the Song

One of these mornings, Lord I swear
I’ll wake up I’m already there
Out of the darkness, into the light
How I feel when all is wrong
Even though I don’t belong
Out of the darkness, into the light

Out, out of the darkness,
Comin’ out, out of the darkness
Oh

Wasn’t really born to run
That’s just where I’m comin’ from
Out of the darkness, into the light
So when I lay me down to sleep
I pray the lord my soul to keep
Out of the darkness, into the light

(bridge) I wanna live like there’s nothing to forgive
No one to betray
Nothing left to pay
Oh

One of these mornings, Lord I swear
I’ll wake up I’m already there
Out of the darkness, into the light
Out of the darkness into the light
