You got a face not spoiled by beauty I have some scars from where I've been You've got eyes that can see right through me You’re not afraid of anything they've seen I was told that I would feel nothing the first time I don’t know how these cuts heal But in you I found a rhyme If there is a light You can’t always see And there is a world We can’t always be If there is a dark Now we shouldn't doubt And there is a light Don’t let it go out And this is a song A song for someone This is a song A song for someone You let me into a conversation A conversation only we could make You break and enter my imagination Whatever’s in there It’s yours to take I was told I’d feel nothing the first time You were slow to heal But this could be the night If there is a light You can’t always see And there is a world We can’t always be If there is a dark Within and without And there is a light Don’t let it go out And this is a song A song for someone This is a song This is a song for someone Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah And I’m a long way From your hill of Calvary And I’m a long way From where I was, where I need to be If there is a light You can’t always see And there is a world We can’t always be If there is a kiss I stole from your mouth And there is a light Don’t let it go out
