Oh Child

(Ooh)

I fell asleep last night, countin' troubles in my head
I had a dream that I was on my own with no one else
And my hands were full of the tears I was cryin'
How do I tell the shadows to get behind me?

I had it in my soul
The answer all along

Oh, child, gotta lift your hopes high
Even through the cold nights, sun come up in no time
Oh, child, lookin' at tomorrow like
Troubles gonna roll by
You just gotta hold tight, oh child
(Ooh) hold tight, oh child
(Ooh) hold tight, oh child

I've been wonderin' where my heart got lost
How do I get it back to how it always was?
I've been askin' myself where did the fire go
The fire I always kept deep down in my bones

I had it in my soul
The answer all along

Oh, child, gotta lift your hopes high
Even through the cold nights, sun come up in no time
Oh, child, lookin' at tomorrow like
Troubles gonna roll by
You just gotta hold tight, oh child
(Ooh) hold tight, oh child
(Ooh) hold tight, oh child

Through the fire and the smoke (I'm found in the light)
Through the highs and the lows (I'm found in the light)
Through the bruised and the broke (I'm found in the light)
Don't let go (I'm found in the light)
(I'm found in the light)
(I'm found in the light, I'm found in the light)

Oh, child, gotta lift your hopes high
Even through the cold nights, sun come up in no time
Oh, child, lookin' at tomorrow like
Troubles gonna roll by
You just gotta hold tight, oh child
(Ooh) hold tight, oh child
(Ooh) hold tight, oh child

(Ooh) hold tight, oh child
(Ooh) hold tight, oh child
