Jane Siberry - The Gospel According To Darkness lyrics

rate me

I know there's a place that you call your own

and you're safe and warm and you feel like you're home

and the peace of it and the faith involved

and you go to say...but there's no need to explain it

still you try

and then you see

that it's okay

you're on your own

I see you lookin' around

at the people on the street

well, things aren't what they seem

if you push them hard enough

you'll find that most of them

do not feel worthy of love

now how did this come to be?

oh, my sweet sweet darlin'

yes?

look at me

you're telling me you can't pierce

the darkness into the light?

yes

can you see me?

no, I cant...

can you see the figure standing on your right?

nobody. it's just darkness...

it's just darkness...

come on, I know you understand.

I'm trying...

love, will you let us know when it's time

when we can leave this darkness behind?

oh, my sweet sweet darlin'...

wait...

what? you know when you open up your eyes?

oh, I'm afraid there wont be anyone there

I'm beaming you all this light

wait.

something's happening...

who is it?

I'm holding my sweet mama in my arms

is she dying?

no, I think she's just been born

and she looks so... sweet...

and she looks so... hopeful

and she looks so... trusting

she doesn't know how hard...

I know there's a place

that you call your own

and you're safe and warm

and you feel like you're home

I see you lookin' around

at the people on the street

well, things aren't what they seem

if you push them hard enough

you'll find that most of them

do not feel worthy of love

now how did this come to be?

I know there's a place that you call your own
