Too much time looking over the edge
Keeping track of all the trouble lurking under my bed
Like many I know I've got my share
And to tell you the truth it's pretty dark down there
No telling what you'll find down there
Like a story cooked up by the Devil on drugs
And he's given the lead to some party down thugs
And they're swinging away
They're trashing the set
Pushing and pulling and putting hearts in play
And they're not done yet
But they don't know like I know like I know
The dark don't banish the light
For the high and low and the wrong and right
I'm holding out for brighter days
Big red glow on the blue horizon
For now I think I'm calling it the rising sun
It's coming on up and spreading light to spare
Some times like these are too much to bear
Doesn't matter if you just don't care
Like a story you'll hear that'll break your heart
Can the horse find a way to the head of the cart
'Cause he knows the way and he can't forget
Pushing and pulling putting hearts in play
And they're not done yet
'Cause now he knows like I know
The dark don't banish the light
For all the high and low and the wrong and right
I'm holding out for brighter days
Wherever you go you've got big surprises
No matter what you know about sunrises
Nothing guarantees you're gonna see the sun
Nothing says for sure you're not a one and done
Even though you think you've just begun
Like a story written down on a rolling wheel
You have to stick around to get the big reveal
'Cause it's rollin' away
In spite of your get
Pushing and pulling and putting hearts in play
And they're not done yet
But now I know like you know
The dark don't banish the light
For all the high and low and the wrong and right
I'm holding out for brighter days
