Do not let the light in I'm not ready for the sight Let the dark linger Hold a morning star Gentle in the night I will lie beneath her Be my comfort Be my company Let the light shine bright at my back I am returning Let the light shine bright at my back I am returning Pull away the mute Covering my ears Let me hear you whisper Breaking the silent Stillness of the year How long have we stood there Be my answer Be my humbling And let the light shine bright at my back I am returning Let the light shine bright at my back I am returning Let the light shine bright at my back I am returning Let the light shine bright at my back You are the sky everything else is weather No reason why anything else should matter You are the sky everything else is weather No reason why anything else should matter So let the light shine bright at my back I am returning Let the light shine bright at my back I am returning Let the light shine bright at my back I am returning Let the light shine bright at my back I am returning Let the light shine bright at my back I am returning Let the light shine bright at my back
