LET THE DARKNESS OUT
Darianne Alvarez / Frankie Perez / Winny Bell / Carlos Bell / Jennifer Byrne / Rod Byrne / Yahaira Diaz / Moses Diaz / Stacey Drake / Nathan Drake / Christy Funkhouser / Sean Funkhouser / Jayme Hall / Nathan Hall / Tanisha Gonzalez / Lekendrick Lopez Lee / Jay Clementi / Georgia Middleman / Gary Burr / Anthony Smith

Looking from outside people think that I’m okay
They think it’s been an easy ride but I die a little every day
On the inside I’m choking on my pain
Praying and praying that hope is on the way (oh)

Time to let a new life begin
Isn’t that what healing’s all about
Open up and let the sunshine in
Now it’s time to let the darkness out

No one seems to understand why I don’t quite fit in
They don’t realize I just want to feel alive again
So have compassion for what I’m going through
Maybe you could stand up and fight for me the way I fought for you (oh)

Time to let a new life begin
Isn’t that what healing’s all about
Open up and let the sunshine in
Now it’s time to let the darkness out

It goes ‘round and 'round and 'round
But I won’t put my weapons down
I will fight this war at home
But don’t let me fight this war alone

Time to let a new life begin
Isn’t that what healing’s all about
Open up and let the sunshine in
Now it’s time to let the darkness out

La, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la
