The Gospel According to Darkness Lyrics

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 itStill you try and then you see
That it's okay, you're on your ownI 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?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 cant)
Can you see the figure standing on your right?
(Nobody, yeah, it's just darkness, it's just darkness)
Come on, I know you understand
(I'm tryin', I'm tryin')Love, will you let us know when it's time
When we can leave this darkness behind?

Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeahOh, my sweet, sweet darlin'
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?
(He said, "I'm holding my sweet mama in my arms")
Is she dying?
(No, I think she's just been born)(And she looks, she looks so sweet)
Oh, 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, doesn't know how hard)
And you feel like you're homeI 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?I know there's a place that you call your own
