[Verse 1]
Contained in everything I do
There's a love I feel for you
Proclaimed in everything I write
You're the light
Burning brightly
[Chorus]
Onward through the night
Onward through the night
Onward through the night of my life
[Verse 2]
Displayed in all the things I see
There's a love you show to me
Portrayed in all the things you say
You're the day
Leading the way
[Chorus]
Onward through the night
Onward through the night
Onward through the night of my life
[Instrumental Break]
[Chorus]
Onward through the night
Onward through the night
Onward through the night of my life
