Where could darkness as dark as this have come from?
|
Too far to see but we know that we can sense that it exists.
|
And how can I do anything but run from
|
The will to fight a fight for which I feel so ill-equipped?
|
|
[Chorus]
|
But what can I do?
|
I throw my hands up half in anguish half in praise.
|
When I try to count my blessings, I just see sorrow in a cage.
|
But I'm afraid, a¢æ?cause what can I do?
|
|
If this didn't horrify me, I'd be heartless
|
But every night I lay here paralyzed.
|
But I won't be consumed with all this darkness
|
Instead I find surprise within the light.
|
|
[Chorus]
|
But what can I do?
|
I throw my hands up half in anguish half in praise.
|
When I try to count my blessings, I just see sorrow in a cage.
|
But I'm afraid, a¢æ?cause what can I do?
|
Want to cast a light into this pit if I only had a way
|
To restore the hearts of vile men to the love from which they've strayed, but I'm afraid.
|
|
Let one man find hope again.
|
Maybe in his very own daughter's life.
|
Have him seize another man's
|
Forearm, wrist, and hand before he takes the opportunity to strike.
|
Have those too grow close in brotherhood in you
|
Give them all your strength and might,
|
Let them be a poison to the darkness as they bring it to the light.
|
|
Darkness comes to light. [x8]
