Chords in this song

Strum
D-DU-UDU
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.

that [C2]presses harsh [G/B]hope against [D2no3]time

In the [C2]absense of [G/B]martyrs there's a [D/A]presence of th[G/B]ieves

who on[C2]ly want[G/B] to rob you [D2no3]blind

They steal [C2]awa[G/B]y any[D/A] sense of [G/B]peace tho I'm a [C2]king, I'm a [G/B]king

on my [D2no3]knees

And I [C2]know they are [G/B]wrong when they [D/A]say I am str[Em]ong as the da[C2]rkness [D]

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.
