Darkness (Into the Light)

If you spend three days at the bottom of a well

Tired and hungry and lonesome as hell

If you spend three days alone in shades of blue

Stockpiling more sorrow than any man should

Trust me, you'd cry out to your tiny circle of sky

Take me out of the darkness and into the light

Those who know, know you can settle the score

There's no key to loose melancholy's door

Only pills for muted happiness and flight

Won't silence the fears of an imminent demise

I need a second opinion

Or a dose of sun in the eyes

Take me out of the darkness and into the light

And if you spent three days in a stone cold tomb

And no feed or fantasy could put a dent in your mood

If you were dead among the living, unmarked and unnamed

And no thrill or good time could roll the stone away

You too would beg heaven to resurrect you like Christ

Take you out of the darkness and into the light

Babe, you tried hard to put my heart at ease

And not a single word could set this sorry man free

And I know it's hard to see your champion so easily defeated

Buried in the dust, bruised and battered and beated

And I know from your steady hand, you cast this patient a line

Take me out of the darkness and into the light

Take me out of the darkness and into the light
