To take a light into the dark is to know the light To know the dark Go into the dark You can lock the door yeah you know how You can stay alone, you're so proud But you can't keep the darkness out Oh you're probably the strongest one I know You got to the thickest skin You got a way to throw You can't keep the darkness out You can't keep the darkness out Whatever hurt you, what keeps you mad Wants you to let it go, let it pass When memories turn to doubt You can't keep the darkness out Oh the dark is a river If you wade into it With your arms open wide Let it take you with it Oh you don't have to fight It will provide, it will provide There's nothing wrong With the heart in your chest It might be heavy but it's innocent And it can't keep the darkness out You can't keep the darkness You can't keep the darkness You can't keep the darkness To take a light into the darkness is to know the light To know the dark Go into the dark To take a light into the darkness is to know the light To know the dark Go into the dark.
