lyrics

It's dark at five in January
Like it is every year
And it holds onto my soul
Like a transparent iron veil
And I'm looking for the sun
But it's hiding in the clouds
It's lost in all the sorrow I've seen all around, seen all around

Where is the light?
Where does it hide?
How can I find it?
Where does it lie?
If it hides here in me, and it hides there in you
Why is it waiting to shine, waiting to shine, waiting to shine?

You're a familiar face
Your voice I've known so well
After all these years
Never heard a word about hell
But we throw around this fear
As if it makes us draw near to you
But fear has got no hold
Where love has made its home, love has made its home

Where is the light?
Where does it hide?
How can I find it?
Where does it lie?
If it hides here in me, and it hides there in you
Why is it waiting to shine, waiting to shine, waiting to shine?

I'm not interested in easy answers
I'm not interested in wrong and rights, no
If all I'm left with are all these questions
I'll keep looking for you tonight

Where is the light?
Where does it hide?
How can I find it?
Where does it lie?
If it hides here in me, and it hides there in you
Why is it waiting to shine, waiting to shine, waiting to shine?

The light is within
The light is all around us
He sings a beautiful song
That love is all we have, love is all we have, love is all we have
