There's a place in the darkness I use to cling to. 
That presses harsh hope against time. 
In the absence of martyrs there's a presence of thieves. 
who only want to rob you blind. 

They steal away any sense of peace  tho I'm a king. 
I'm a king on my knees. And I know they are wrong when they say 
I am strong. As the darkness covers me. 
So I turn on the light and reveal all the glory  I am not afraid. 
To bear all my weakness, knowing in meekness, I have a kingdom to gain. 

Where there is peace and Love in the Light in the Light, I am not afraid. 
To let your light shine bright in my life In my life. 
There are ghosts from my past who have owned more of my soul. 
Than I thought I had given away. They linger in closets and under my bed. 

And in pictures less proudly dis-played. A great fool in my Life I have been. 
Have squandered til pallid and thin. Hung my head in shame and refused to take blame. 
From darkness I know I've let win. Can you hear me? 
Can you hear me?
