Til’ Night Becomes Day Lyrics

Samantha Mumba

Sometimes you feel
Like youve been left behind
Sometimes the light
Can be so hard to find
Then someone tells you youre not strong enough
Then someone tells you youre not good enough
Dont believe a word they say
Everything will be ok
Let me take you to a milky way
Well ride a star
Til the night becomes the day
Beliving news
Are thinking whats hard inside
Dont ever feel the need to
Run and hide
Dont run and hide
Then someone tells you youre not strong enough
Strong enough
Then someone tells you youre not good enough
Good enough
Dont believe a word they say
Everything will be ok
Let me take you to a milky way
Well ride a star
Til the night becomes the day
Dont be afraid to fly
Rise up and touch the sky
Just like a butterfly
Think of a lullaby
Dry all the tears youve cried
The tears youve cried
Dont believe a word they say
Let me take you to a milky way
Well ride a star
Til the night becomes the day
Like the flowers in early may like the flowers
In the sunshine we will play yeah yeah yeah
With you is where Ill stay
Well take you heart
Til the night becomes the day
Dont be afraid to fly
Rise up and touch the sky
Just like a butterfly just like a butterfly baby
Think of a lullaby
Dry all the tears youve cried cried
Til the night becomes the day
Dont believe a word they say
No no no no no
Let me take you to a milky way
Well ride a star
Til the night becomes the day
