I lie here staring at the starry night
Vincent Van Gogh, you really got it right
Your brushstrokes paint the darkness in your life
Behind every brushstroke I find
A little bit of light
The sound and the fury kept me up all night
Count no count - you got me all uptight
The struggle for the soul is a terrible fight
Behind every word I find
A little bit of light
Chorus:
It's a beautiful thing to see through the eyes
Of pain and heartache laid into the night
You run from the darkness in this life
But if you turn around you'll find
A little bit of light
The blackest sea would tell a tale
Of journeys the chosen few have prevailed
The failing dream could reach the highest height
And love comes tumbling down in a little bit of light
A little bit of light
Don't forget the sunflowers or the lilies fair
The spotted horses and that old black bear
Laughter turns the tears we often cry
And joy comes crashing in
In a little bit of light
