Come Light, Visit Me
by Paul Felton

I used to let myself be troubled by the darkness I gathered around me
I used to wanna retreat / from the daylight ‘cause it made me feel low
Tried to spend the days hiding inside
Looking for a way to somehow survive
I didn’t dare get my hopes up enough to ask: Come light, visit Me,
Come light, visit me

You tried to help me see what I was doing was getting me nowhere
That moping in depression only locked me into a heartbreaking fate
I said your sunny heart don’t know what it’s like
You said the sun shines just the same for everyone
All it takes is just to look up and ask, Come light, visit me, yeah,
Come light, visit me uh-uh-huh

Looking at the world around me and seeing nothing but pain and destruction
Makes me just want to throw up my hands and throw in the towel
All around I see greed and despair
Violence and hate everywhere
Drowning out the few voices calling out, Come light, visit me, yeah,
Come light, visit me uh-uh-huh

Never did believe humanity could ever break free of darkness
Empathy and compassion always overwhelmed by the cascade of fear
Random acts of kindness always too rare
Not enough people who care
Not enough to build the confidence to inspire, Come light, visit me, yeah,
Come light, visit me uh-huh

Nothing ‘s ever gonna happen with my surrender to / the dim setting sun
Huddling around a smoky campfire at night / won't help anyone
Waiting for the world to change just wont do
There’s a little something every one of us could do
Light can follow darkness and It starts with me,
Come light, visit me, yeah,
Come light, visit me uh- uh-huh

Come light, visit me, yeah
Come light, visit me uh- uh-huh
Come light, visit me, yeah,
Come light, visit me uh- uh-huh
Come light, visit Me
