lyrics

a light to light up the darkest day
a torch to drive the night away
some kind of amulet like a rabbit's foot, a charm, an evil eye

one morning at waffle house
my server brought to me
a short-stack of the holy virgin with maple syrup streaming down her cheeks

send a sunbeam down to me
can't you see i'm desperately
trying to believe in something all-knowing and bigger than me

hope, hope is a funny word
a song like you've never heard
where's the capacity to picture something until it comes true?

last night on the radio
i heard it clear as day
a voice that was speaking to me alone telling me that everything's okay

send a sunbeam down to me
can't you see i'm desperately
trying to believe in something all-knowing and bigger than me
