Lyrics
It?s no fortune to be lost in the darkness
Once created from a spark
Stumbling round looking to find your existence
Trying to leave a beauty mark
Every little moment gets away from you
You just wonder where they all go
Precious water keeps on leaking through that dam
Til you know...
Chorus
You need the light
To guide your way
To see you through
Each night and day
You need the light
To ease your pain
To heal the wounds
That still remain
Well I don?t know if I can shine that bright
But I am willing to try
Cause you need the light
I see your silhouette down in the alley
Walking with your head hung low
I?d like to offer you a view of the garden
Whenever you?re ready to go
Every little moment?s an eternity
Love can make the world skip a turn
I believe in you, I know you?ll find your way
And you?ll learn...
Repeat Chorus
