Ok ok i'm here on my knees like you wanted from me - like you asked me to be Ok ok tryin' to open my heart you said it might work - at least it's a start Ok ok i'm beggin' again. I'm calling in favors - i'm leaning on friends Do you hear when i say. i'm beggin' again for mercy for grace whatever you send You said light was evasive it comes and it goes It runs through your fingers it fills up your soul You can be strong - you can be brave It's not for certain - that you will be saved You can have sorrow - you can have rage Like that chimp on your shoulder - that you're trying to cage You can have laughter - you can have fear But there's no escape - that you will have tears So open your eyes - be honest and pray That after your night - well you can have day You said light was evasive it comes and it goes It runs through your fingers it fills up your soul You said faith was evasive it comes and it goes It breaks you to pieces and makes you back whole You can have promise and you can tell lies Well you will face trouble and then you will die And you can kick whiskey and you can kick dope And be left with nothing but a carrot of hope And you can have faith and you can have love With your eyes to the sky for a sign from above You can be wrong and you can be right But the best you can hope for is a little more light You said light was evasive it comes and it goes It slides off your fingers it's staining your clothes You said faith was evasive it comes and it goes It rips you to pieces and sews you back whole You said light was evasive it comes and it ends Is circles the globe it comes round again And maybe god cares. he may be benign But the offer is light and a moment to shine A moment to shine A moment to shine shine shine shine shine
