[Verse 1: Kelly Clarkson]
I can see the weight there in your eyes
I can feel the thorn in your side
Your knuckles are bruised from a losing fight
One way down a dead-end street
Broken glass underneath your feet
You think the day won't break the sunless night

[Chorus: Kelly Clarkson & Kara DioGuardi]
The sun will rise
The sun will rise
When you've lost your light
The sun will rise
It'll be alright
It'll be alright

[Verse 2: Kara DioGuardi]
I've been in stuck in a storm before
Felt the winds raging at my door
Couldn't move, couldn't breathe, couldn't find a way out
Somehow the clouds disappeared
Somehow I made it here
Maybe just so you could hear me say

[Chorus: Kelly Clarkson & Kara DioGuardi]
The sun will rise
The sun will rise (The sun will rise)
When you've lost your light
The sun will rise
It'll be alright (It'll be alright)
It'll be alright
It'll be alright
It'll be alright

[Bridge: Kelly Clarkson & Kara DioGuardi]
And though you can't see it
So hard to believe it
Sometimes you just need a little faith (All you need's a little faith)
There's an answer to your prayer
And I swear that there'll come a day, yeah

[Chorus: Kelly Clarkson & Kara DioGuardi]
The sun will rise
The sun will rise (The sun will rise)
The sun will rise (The sun will rise)
The sun will rise, yeah
The sun will rise
The sun will rise
It'll be alright
It'll be alright (Yeah, yeah, yeah)
It'll be alright (Yeah, yeah, yeah)
It'll be alright (Yeah, yeah, yeah)
It'll be alright (Yeah, yeah, yeah)
The sun will rise

Kelly Clarkson

Kelly Brianne Clarkson (born April 24, 1982) is an American singer, songwriter, and occasional actress. In 2002, she came to prominence after winning the first season of American Idol, and has since been established as “The Original American Idol”. Her debut single, “A Moment Like This”, topped the US Billboard Hot 100 and broke the record for the biggest jump to number one in the chart’s history.

Her first album, Thankful included the top ten single “Miss Independent”, which earned her first Grammy nomination. Her second album Breakaway produced the hit single “Since U Been Gone” which reached number two on the Hot 100 and was certified platinum by the RIAA.

Clarkson went in a different direction with her self-creatively-controlled third album, My December. It debuted at number two on the Billboard 200 and produced the top-ten single “Never Again.” Her fourth album, All I Ever Wanted debuted at number one on the Billboard 200. Lead single “My Life Would Suck Without You” re-broke the record for biggest jump to number one on the Hot 100, jumping 97-1 in its second week on the chart. The record still stands today.
