lyrics

You look tired, that’s what people say
But you smile for a picture frame
Though your smile seems a mile away
Oh isn’t that a shame?

Like a knife between your shoulder blades
There’s an emptiness and a burning pain
The worst thing you can’t reach the place
To make it go away
Oh, make it go away

Grace on the mountain
Grace on the valley floor
There’s a light, there’s a light, there’s a light, there’s a light
I’ve been down that way
Too many times before
There’s a light, there’s a light, there’s a light, there’s a light
There’s a light, a light, a light, a light

He was born in a barnhouse
But he died on a cross
I guess he had to suffer
For all of us
But you don’t got to go that way
You know you always have a choice
And you can always call on me
If you need to hear my voice
Oh, hear my voice

Don’t go into your darkness
‘Cause I know there is a light
Maybe we’ve got to break a little
Before we see it shine
Maybe we’ve got to fall down
Begging on our knees
Crying please, please
Give me some release
Oh please, please, please

Don’t go into your darkness
‘Cause I know there is a light
Maybe we’ve got to break a little
Before we see it shine
