The way is dark up ahead of me 
The way is dark and I cannot see 
What I love the most is a flashlight beam 
Lighting up the way when I cannot see 

The way unfolds like an open hand 
The way unfolds like I didn't plan 
And only in looking back do we understand 
That the way was true as an open hand 

Over trials and trouble I've already come 
And the net appeared when I needed one 
Yes the road is dark and the ground is rough 
Most the time a flashlight has to be enough 

We move forward one step at a time 
Wide-eyed and hopeful, lost and half blind 
Mistake by mistake, we all learn to be kind 

There is so much to see and to realize 
If I could close my mouth and open up my eyes 
And the world will tell us more than enough lies 
But we'll find our way with a small flashlight
