Nine Lashes
You Are the Light
I see the shadows are towering
I close my eyes and pass them by
I feel the fear and I’m cowering
Wish I could find a way to rise
I know it’s underneath the skin
It’s just beneath the surface

I want to run, I want to hide
Am I awake, am I alive?
I don’t know the way
The dark leaves me blind
But You are the light
(You are the light)

I feel the panic dividing me
The worry grows, nowhere to go
And I hold my breath down inside of me
Wish I could find this heart of mine
I know it’s underneath the skin
It’s just beneath the surface

I want to run, I want to hide
Am I awake, am I alive?
I don’t know the way
The dark leaves me blind
But You are the light
(You are the light)
I see where you are, in the distance
Too far from myself
You’re daring to cross, just to hold me
And You love me, love me
Carry me home, in the night

I want to run, I want to hide
Am I awake, am I alive?
I don’t know the way
The dark leaves me blind
But You are the light
(You are the light)
