"Dark Night, Bright Future" lyrics - DOLLY PARTON

[Chorus:]
Dark night, bright future
Like the phoenix from the ashes, I shall rise again
Dark night, bright future
I've been hurt and broke, but I am on the mend
Got so much ahead of me
The past is gonna set me free
Learn from it and just believe
That I can touch the sky

Everyone knows happiness
Everybody grieves
We all cry, we all smile
Everybody bleeds
Everybody has a past, things they wanna hide
There's give, take, love, hate in each and every life

[Chorus:]
Dark night, bright future
Like the phoenix from the ashes, I shall rise again
Dark night, bright future
I've been hurt and broke, but I am on the mend
Got so much ahead of me
What's in the past, I'll leave it be
Run from it and just believe
That I can touch the sky

[Bridge:]
Forgiveness is a magic wand, makes things disappear
Kindness wipes away regret; hope can conquer fear
Tenderness, a soothing balm, healing wounds and scars
Love says we can start anew right from where we are

[Chorus:]
Dark night, bright future
I'm on my way, I'll start today, I'm gonna be alright
Dark night, bright future
It's darkest just before the light
And though it's been a long, dark night, blue sky on the other side

[Outro:]
Dark night, bright future
Like the phoenix from the ashes, I shall rise again
Dark night, bright future, I've been hurt and broken
But I am on the mend
