"Light"
(from "Next To Normal (Original Broadway Cast Recording)" soundtrack)

[Natalie:]
We need some light
First of all, we need some light
You can't sit here in the dark
And all alone, it's a sorry sight
It's just you and me
We'll live, you'll see

[Dan:]
Night after night
We'd sit and wait for the morning light
But we've waited far too long
For all that's wrong to be made right

[Diana:]
Day after day
Wishing all our cares away
Trying to fight the things we feel
But some hurts never heal
Some ghosts are never gone
But we go on
We still go on

And you find some way to survive
And you find out you don't have to be happy at all
To be happy you're alive

[Natalie:]
Day after day
Give me clouds and rain and gray
Give me pain, if that's what's real

[Henry & Natalie:]
It's the price we pay to feel

[Dan & Diana:]
The price of love is loss

[Dan:]
But still we pay

[Dan & Henry:]
We love anyway

[Gabe:]
And when the night has finally gone
And when we see the new day dawn
We'll wonder how we wandered for so long, so blind
The wasted world we thought we knew
The light will make it look brand new
So...

[All:]
Let it, let it
Let it, let it
Let it shine, shine, shine

Day after day, day after day
We'll find the will to find our way
Knowing that the darkest skies will someday see the sun

[Dan:]
When our long night is done

[Dan, Diana & Natalie:]
There will be light
There will be light

[All:]
When we open up our lives
Sons and daughters, husbands, wives
Can fight that fight
There will be light
There will be light
There will be light
There will be light
