The Gospel According To Darkness

Lyrics

[Verse 1] I know there's a place that you call your own And you're safe and warm and you feel like you're home And the peace of it and the faith involved And you go to say, but there's no need to explain it Still you try and then you see that it's okay You're on your own [Chorus] I see you lookin' around at the people on the street Well, things aren't what they seem If you push them hard enough You'll find that most of them do not feel worthy of love Now how did this come to be? [Verse 2] Oh, my sweet sweet darlin' (Yes?) Look at me You're telling me you can't pierce The darkness into the light? (Yes) Can you see me? (No, I can't) Can you see the figure standing on your right? (Nobody, it's just darkness, it's just darkness) Come on, I know you understand (I'm trying) Oh (I'm trying) Oh (Oh) Oh, say (Oh) [Bridge] Love, will you let us know Will you let us know when it's time When we can leave this darkness behind? Yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah [Verse 3] Oh, my sweet sweet darlin' (Wait) You know when you open up your eyes? (Oh, I'm afraid there won't be anyone) I'm beaming you all this light (Something's happening) Who is it? (It's a. I'm holding my sweet mama in my arms) Is she dying? (No, I think she's just been born) Mmm hmm (And she looks, she look so... sweet) I know there's a place (And she looks so... hopeful) That you call your own (And she looks so... trusting) Safe and warm (She doesn't know, she doesn't know how hard) And you feel like you're home [Chorus] I see you lookin' around at the people on the street Well, things aren't what they seem If you push them hard enough You'll find that most of them do not feel worthy of love Now how did this come to be? [Outro] (I know there's a place) I know there's a place that you call your own
