I was goin' down, down baby
My life was blowin' in the wind
I was goin' down, down baby
Chasing rainbows to the end
Then I've found out I was wrong
Lord, it's always darkest just before the dawn
My father he told me
He said: "Son, you gotta' keep on moving on"
My father he told me
He said: "Son, you gotta' keep on moving on"
He said that size don't make the man
Lord, Lord, Lord, it's always darkest just before the dawn
Oh Lord, Lord, I say: "down don't bother me"
'Cause I've been down so long
Lord, you know that down don't bother me
Then I've found out I was wrong
It's always darkest just before the dawn
Just before the dawn
