Carolyn Arends - After This Lyrics

We have never in our lifetimes
Known a shadow like this one
Still, however long this nighttime
Rest assured the dawn will come

And after this, the sun will be shining
And all we missed, will come to us in a whole new light
And then may we never waste
The sweet gift of a warm embrace
When at last we are face to face
After this

May we never lose these lessons
Till we take our final breath
And when we finally reach the ending
May we know there’s something next

‘Cause after this, the sun will be shining
And all we missed, will come to us in a whole new light
And then we will never waste
The sweet gift of a warm embrace
When at last we are face to face
After this
