The Darkness We All Need
Blues Traveler Lyrics
How I came to be
In a thunder's calm
The chaos reigned, but don't we all?
Like the drink of light
It tastes so young
Going down so quick and then it's gone
And I began to see
The darkness we all need
That the world has opened up and
Cast a light in front of me
And swept away my fears
And who I used to be
Learning that the good will
Overcome and set me free
Through the darkness we all need
And it came like fire
Lighting up the sky
Like some flash of hope to guide me home
And I have been so tired
Too tired to try
To brave the storm of the unknown
And I began to see
The darkness we all need
That the world has opened up and
Cast a light in front of me
And swept away my fears
And who I used to be
Learning that the good will
Overcome and set me free
Through the darkness we all need
And I began to see
Through the darkness we all need
That the world has opened up and
Cast a light in front of me
And swept away my fears
And who I used to be
Learning that the good will
Overcome and set me free
And I began to see
Through the darkness we all need
That the world has opened up and
Cast a light in front of me
And swept away my fears
And who I used to be
Learning that the good will
Overcome and set me free
Through the darkness we all need
In a thunder's calm
The chaos reigned, but don't we all?
Like the drink of light
It tastes so young
Going down so quick and then it's gone
And I began to see
The darkness we all need
That the world has opened up and
And swept away my fears
And who I used to be
Learning that the good will
Overcome and set me free
Through the darkness we all need
And it came like fire
Lighting up the sky
Like some flash of hope to guide me home
And I have been so tired
Too tired to try
To brave the storm of the unknown
And I began to see
The darkness we all need
That the world has opened up and
Cast a light in front of me
And swept away my fears
And who I used to be
Learning that the good will
Overcome and set me free
Through the darkness we all need
And I began to see
Through the darkness we all need
That the world has opened up and
Cast a light in front of me
And swept away my fears
And who I used to be
Learning that the good will
Overcome and set me free
And I began to see
Through the darkness we all need
That the world has opened up and
Cast a light in front of me
And swept away my fears
And who I used to be
Learning that the good will
Overcome and set me free
Through the darkness we all need
