Lift the Darkness
Lift the darkness so my eyes might see
See what waits ahead for me
Lift the darkness so my eyes might see
Don't let the shadows overtake poor me
Times there were that I would kneel and pray
Wondering just what I could say
Times there were that I would kneel and pray
Give me hope that you'll return one day
And if I don't laugh then sure enough I'll cry
My burden is such that I could die
And if I don't laugh then sure enough I'll cry
'Cause when you left I see no reason why
My body's young but my minds grown old
My heart feels heavy like my soul
My body's young but my minds grown old
Don't leave me out here in the freezing cold
So I stretch out my arms I reach for the sky
The sun it catches in my eye
I stretch my arms out and I reach for the sky
Forgive my sins 'fore the day I die
Well the man before me well I know his name
But things they just don't seem the same
The man before me well I know his name
The way I feel well it's a crying shame
One step forward and its two steps back
It's time it's time to cut some slack
One step forward and its two steps back
Just can't keep those monkeys off my back
I'll walk a mile in some others shoes
Before deciding what to do
I'll walk a mile in some others shoes
Then let them judge me by the things I do
See what waits ahead for me
Lift the darkness so my eyes might see
Don't let the shadows overtake poor me
Times there were that I would kneel and pray
Wondering just what I could say
Times there were that I would kneel and pray
Give me hope that you'll return one day
And if I don't laugh then sure enough I'll cry
My burden is such that I could die
And if I don't laugh then sure enough I'll cry
'Cause when you left I see no reason why
My body's young but my minds grown old
My heart feels heavy like my soul
My body's young but my minds grown old
Don't leave me out here in the freezing cold
So I stretch out my arms I reach for the sky
The sun it catches in my eye
I stretch my arms out and I reach for the sky
Forgive my sins 'fore the day I die
Well the man before me well I know his name
But things they just don't seem the same
The man before me well I know his name
The way I feel well it's a crying shame
One step forward and its two steps back
It's time it's time to cut some slack
One step forward and its two steps back
Just can't keep those monkeys off my back
I'll walk a mile in some others shoes
Before deciding what to do
I'll walk a mile in some others shoes
Then let them judge me by the things I do
