There's a place in the darkness that I used to cling to
that presses harsh hope against time
In the absense of martyrs there's a presence of thieves
who only want to rob you blind
They steal away any sense of peace tho I'm a king, I'm a king
on my knees
And I know they are wrong when they say I am strong as the darkness
covers me
So turn on the light and reveal all the glory
I am not afraid to bare all my weakness knowing in meekness
I have a kingdom to gain
Where there is peace and love in the light, in the light oh
I am not afraid to let you light shine bright in my life in my life oh
A-hi yi yeah oh. A-hi yeah.
There are ghosts from my past
who've owned more of my soul
than I thought I had given away.
They linger in closets
and under my bed and in
pictures less proudly displayed.
A great fool in my life I have been,
have squandered 'til pallid and thin.
Hung my head in shame and refused
to take blame for the darkness I know I've let win.
So turn on the light and reveal all the glory
I am not afraid
To bare all my weakness knowing in meekness
I have a kingdom to gain
Where there is peace and love in the light in the light oh
I am not afraid
To let your light shine bright in my life, in my life oh
A-hi yi - yeah oh. A-hi yeah.
