lyrics

If you could wade into the darkness
through the hatred– to the heartless
to shine a light again
then you could take my hand

With a flashing bolt of lightning
through the blighted– to the frightening
making it brighter than
the UV band

No, I am not alone
but I am on my own
and I could use a hand
to pick me up again

What would it take for you
to step into my shoes
When you can’t know the pain
no, you can't know this pain

When I know that you can see
I know that you can see me
yes I know that you can see
I know that you can see me

With a fear that's never-ending
within the end of days impending
I never want to bend
I never want to break

If every heart that's hardened
within the walled-off pools and gardens
could melt away their pain
then would you call my name?

No, I am not alone
but I am on my own
and I could use a hand
to pick me up again

I know that in every heart
darling, it can seem so dark
Surely, it can feel as such
when you don't have a crutch

Covering my eyes in shame
tears rolling down again
and if it is all the same
tears rolling through my brain

Standing in the light of day
you won't even look my way
Still, I know that you can see
I know that you can see me

I know we could be so free
honey, it's you and me
I know we could be so free
honey, it's you and me <3
