lyrics

THERE IS A LIGHT IN THE DARKNESS
IT KEEPS GETTING FURTHER AWAY
IT FEELS SO RIGHT IN THE DARKNESS
ALLOWING YOURSELF TO DECAY

BUT WE'RE STILL HERE
AND WE ARE TOGETHER
I MAY BE LOST BUT I WILL NEVER DEPART

SEE THRU THE FEAR
AND FOLLOW THE TETHER
TO THE FLAME BURNING INSIDE MY HEART

I'LL BE THE LIGHT IN THE DARKNESS FOR YOU

THERE IS A PLACE WHERE I GO TO
WHEN I FORGET HOW TO BREATHE
THERE AIN'T NO GRACE THAT CAN FLOW THRU
WHEN I BEGIN TO CHURN AND SEETHE

YOU ALWAYS FIND ME
AND YOU TRY TO REMIND ME
THAT THERE AIN'T NOTHING STRONGER THAN LOVE

SO HARD TO BELIEVE
WHEN WE LOOK AROUND TO SEE
HOW GOOD PEOPLE ARE TREATING ONE ANOTHER

BE THE LIGHT IN THE DARKNESS FOR ME

DON'T LET JEALOUSY HATRED AND FEAR STEER YOU BLIND

WHAT'S GETTING YOU DOWN
NOT LETTING YOU IN

WHAT'S GETTING YOU DOWN
I'M LYING TO MYSELF

WHAT'S GETTING YOU DOWN
GOD DEVIL AND MAN

WHAT'S GETTING YOU DOWN
CAN'T YOU SEE THAT I ONLY WANT TO BE YOUR FRIEND

I'M LIGHTER THAN AIR

IF YOU LOSE YOUR HEART IN THE DARKNESS
AND NO ONE CAN SEE WHERE YOU ARE
BY THE STATE OF THE ART CHEAP BLAZING MADNESS
NEVER LISTENING NEVER LEARNING HOW TO TALK

THERE ARE MANY KINDS OF TRUTH
BUT A LIE IS JUST A LIE
IT'S THE CONCEIT OF BUYING AND SELLING

THE STILLNESS GREW AND I OPENED MY EYES
AND STOPPED BELIEVING IN THE STORY THEY'RE TELLING

BE THE LIGHT IN THE DARKNESS FOR SOMEONE

BE THE LIGHT
BE THE LIGHT
