Tomorrow I ride at dawn Like my father And his father And his father before Watched the soil burn with fire War after war Done things I didn't know I could For the common good Give a man a hundred years

Shake it out, shake it out, ooh whoa Shake it out, shake it out, And it's hard to dance with a devil on your back So shake him off, oh whoa It's always darkest before the dawn I can see no way, I can see no way Shake it out, shake it out Regrets collect

If we can find the light We'll make it till the dawn It'll be here before long The hammer's coming down, down This is the calm before the coming storm This is the fight that we've been waiting for If there is one thing I can promise you

Across the highest mountains and through the endless seas We stand before the dawn of a new world We can go on forever with the darkness so far away And the warriors who live forever fight on to the end Our journey ever onwards fight until we all be free

Leave a light, a light on In the darkness before the dawn In the swirling of this storm When I'm rolling with the punches and hope is gone Millions of miles from home In the swirling swimming on When I'm rolling with the thunder but bleed from thorns

I can hear her smile as she sings As she submarines The rope loops 'round her feeble feet Before the dawn Breaks on her sorry grasp In a blink and in one motion Rope constricts

Before the dawn I hear you whisper In your sleep don't let the morning take him It's been a lifetime since I found someone Since I found someone who would stay I've waited too long and now you're leaving Oh please don't take it all away Outside the birds

Shake it out, shake it out, ooh whoa It's always darkest before the dawn Shake it out, shake it out, Shake it out, shake it out, And it's hard to dance with a devil on your back So shake him off, oh whoa I can see no way, I can see no way Regrets collect

Shake it out, shake it out, Shake it out, shake it out, ooh whoa And it's hard to dance with a devil on your back So shake him off, oh whoa It's always darkest before the dawn I can see no way, I can see no way Regrets collect like old friends Here to

Meet me in the morning 56th and Wabasha Is right before the dawn Little rooster crowin' There must be something on his mind Well, I struggled through barbed wire Felt the hail fall from above Look at the sun Sinkin' like a ship
