[Intro] [clean electric guitar playing syncopated G major chord pattern] [drums enter with steady backbeat, bass guitar follows root notes] [Verse 1] [male vocals enter] I've been waiting for the sun to rise To clear the shadows from my tired eyes [guitar becomes palm-muted] Every step I take is on this road Carrying the weight of a heavy load [Chorus] [guitar opens up with sustained chords] And I'm running, running to the light Through the middle of the darkest night [vocal intensity increases] Yeah, I'm running, running to be free To the person that I'm meant to be [Verse 2] [guitar returns to palm-muted rhythmic pattern] Voices whispering inside my head Thinking 'bout the things I should have said But the past is just a ghost behind Leaving all the memories in my mind [Chorus] [sustained guitar chords, driving drums] And I'm running, running to the light Through the middle of the darkest night Yeah, I'm running, running to be free To the person that I'm meant to be [Outro] [vocal ad-libs: (running, running)] [guitar fades out with final G major chord] [drums end on a final snare hit]
