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 home
Is holding on

Now the night feels like forever
But soon my 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'll let me carry you
I'll take you far enough to see
That you were wrong

Now the night feels like forever
But soon the sun will come around
Make your heart a little lighter
Darling, lay your burden down

Oh 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
