Prompt / Lyrics
“It Can’t Always Be Night” (Spoken Word Intro) Say this to the down-keepers, the sun-slappers, the ones who hush their own harmony— Listen: Even if your eyes still heavy from the night, Morning gon’ come. It can’t stay dark forever. --- (Hook – Choir chant) We gon’ lift our voice through the grave, yeah Walkin’ out the shadow with our faith, yeah Breathe again, light again, see with new sight I serve, I rise, Out the dark and into the night! --- (Verse 1 – Flow) Look— They tried to box me in, But the sky too wide, Told me stay in line, But my God said “fly.” Took that hurt, Turned pain into a sermon, Danced in the dirt Till the seeds started germin’. Mama raised me solo, Said “Boy, you better fight!” I was carryin’ a storm But she taught me make it light. Now I praise in my walk, Turn my loss to a gain, ‘Cause the grave don’t win When you call on His name! --- (Hook – Choir chant) We gon’ lift our voice through the grave, yeah Walkin’ out the shadow with our faith, yeah Breathe again, light again, see with new sight I serve, I rise, Out the dark and into the night! --- (Bridge – Spoken/Chant) See with new sight! Hear with new heart! Even when you torn apart! Even when the chains feel tight— It can’t always be night. --- (Verse 2 – Rap) I gathered my people, Told ‘em “get in position,” This ain’t no religion, This here is redemption. Ain’t no stop signs on the road to the light, Just a whole lotta graves And a God who excites. You can keep that hate, I don’t need that rent, I’m a kingdom-built house And my joy don’t dent! Every bruise on my back Made a drum for the beat, Every tear that I cried Now a song on repeat! --- (Hook – Full Choir) We gon’ lift our voice through the grave, yeah Walkin’ out the shadow with our faith, yeah Breathe again, light again, see with new sight I serve, I rise, Out the dark and into the night! (Outro – Spoken) So tell the down-keepers and the sun-slappers this: You may not be ready for the day, But the day been ready for you. Keep movin’. Light’s on the way.
