And if the terrors of the night Come creeping into your day And the world comes stealing children from your room Guard your innocence From hallucination And know that darkness always gathers around the light There is a light, you can't always see If there is a world, we can't always be If there is a dark, that we shouldn't doubt And there is a light, don't let it go out When the wind screams and shouts And the sea is a dragon's tail And the ship that stole your heart away sets sail When all you've left is leaving And all you got is grieving And all you know is needing Ah da-da, ah da-da-da, ah-da If there is a light, you can't always see If there is a world, we can't always be If there is a dark, that we shouldn't doubt And there is a light, don't let it go out Post-Chorus: 'Cause this is a song, a song for someone Someone like me I know the world is done But you don't have to be I've got a question for the child in you before it leaves Are you tough enough to be kind? Do you know your heart has its own mind? Darkness gathers around the light Hold on, hold on There is a light, you can't always see If there is a world, we can't always be If there is a dark, that we shouldn't doubt And there is a light, don't let it go out And this is a so-o-o-ong, a song for someone This is a so-o-o-ong, a song for someone Someone like me Someone like me Someone like me
