Lyrics

More Light

in the middle of the night
I feel you slip out of the bed
no sleep will come for you
after what?s been said

and I hear you strike a match
and then I feel the candle?s glow
dance on my eyelids
and it goes to show

that there?s been more light
since you?ve been near me
I can see my way more clearly
there?s more reason to believe in
the power that can heal me
there?s more light?
you bring me more light?

now in the quiet of our hearts
we always know what?s wrong and right
no darkness can persist
in the presence of the Light
and so I light a candle too
and try to stay out of the way
and let the voice of love inside
give me the words to say

?cause there?s been more light
since you?ve been near me
I can see my way more clearly
there?s more reason to believe in
the power that can heal me
there?s more light?
you bring me more light?

and so we take each other?s hands
and silent walk out our back door
just as the eastern sky begins to glow

and we pour the darkness from our hearts
and say the things we should have said
and in the first light of this day
our hearts begin to mend

?cause there?s been more light
since you?ve been near me
I can see my way more clearly
there?s more reason to believe in
this power that can heal me
there?s more light?
you bring me more light?
