Step by step it came over me,
Not a hunch of how the world's going on.
Blind in suspense 'cause of my doubts,
Grew up seeing life's darkness.
Learned to live in society.
Did things people wanted me.
Increased more 'n more in my qualities
Like a slave, rushing to cold hard money.
Darkness, darkness -
Surrounds me more!
Wheels of time -
Drown my life!
There's brightness in the dark
A view of hope you gave!
Please open these closed eyes,
And let me see grace in the light!
Follow Him and come on home.
The Holy Ghost is leading you,
And everywhere I am,
There's brightness in the dark.
Everything I see is corrupted world.
Such quiet and unseen strings are pulled.
In front of me poor humanity
And behind me rich society
Day by day what am I working for?
Move money from here to there!
Makes my job more than I want
Every single coin has got a bloody side.
Sense in my life no longer exists!
Searching after cheese like a little mouse,
But in cages of metal you're looking for nothing.
Where's the exit from this wicked system?
Look around you and tell me what you see?
Darkness, darkness -
Surrounds me more!
Wheels of time -
Drown my life!
There's brightness in the dark
A view of hope you gave!
Please open these closed eyes,
And let me see grace in the light!
Follow Him and come on home.
The Holy Ghost is leading you,
And everywhere I am,
There's brightness in the dark.
