| Mother why is it you crying?
|
| Is it from the television?
|
| Yeah I know there’s people dying
|
| But it ain’t your decision
|
| No they wouldn’t ever listen
|
| No they wouldn’t let them be
|
| This is the year of our savior
|
| Two thousand and misery
|
| Darkness, take me away
|
| Darkness, show me where to run
|
| Darkness, take me away
|
| Darkness, show me where to run
|
| Please just try to fall asleep
|
| Please just try to find the light
|
| Darkness, take me off my feet
|
| Lift me until I’m out of sight
|
| Yeah, I’m telling you mother, times will change
|
| Until then…
|
| Darkness, take me away
|
| Darkness, show me where to run
|
| Darkness, take me away
|
| Darkness, show me where to run
|
| And we wait outside, holding on to love
|
| The peace we need is deep within but covered by the blood
|
| Yeah they sold us something but it ain’t peace
|
| And it makes no sense to me
|
| But this freedom, they gave us, this really isn’t free, hey
|
| Darkness, take me away
|
| Darkness, show me where to run
|
| Darkness, take me away
|
| Darkness, show me where to run
|
| Darkness, take me away
|
| Darkness, show me where to run
|
| Darkness, take me away |
