lyrics

Late on the longest night of the year
In total darkness, you just see the fear
What is the measure of what I have done
One year to another on and on

How do I greet it, beginning or end?
Like an old lover and no-longer friend?
What is the measure of what I have done
One year to another on and on

All I can hope for is a life well lived
That I might treasure the love that I give
No shame in failing so long as I’ve tried
Living in the here and now, true to what’s inside
True to what’s inside

What is the measure of what I might be
One year to another the mystery,
The mystery

Late on the longest night of the year
Out of the darkness the light reappears
The light reappears
The light reappears
