There's a place in the darkness I use to cling to   That presses harsh hope against time   In the absence of martyrs there's a presence of thieves   Who only want to rob you blind      They steal away any sense of peace   Though I'm a king, I'm a king on my knees   And I know they are wrong when they say I am strong   As the darkness covers me      So I turn on the light and reveal all the glory   I am not afraid to bear all my weakness   Knowing in meekness, I have a kingdom to gain   Where there is peace and love in the light      In the light, I am not afraid   To let your light shine bright in my life, in my life      There are ghosts from my past who have owned more of my soul   Than I thought I had given away   They linger in closets and under my bed   And in pictures less proudly displayed      A great fool in my life I have been   Have squandered 'til pallid and thin   Hung my head in shame and refused to take blame   From darkness I know, I've let win      Can you hear me? Can you hear me?
