Lyrics
42
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
Where do I turn to
When there's no choice to make?
And how do I presume
When there's so much at stake?
I was so sure of it all
But what if I need you
In my darkest hour?
And what if it turns out
There is no other?
If this is
Our last hope
We would see a sign, oh
We would see a sign
Well, I've been running
From the ashes we left
Forgiveness begs for itself
But how can I forget?
Well, there's a stain on it all?
But what if I need you
In my darkest hour?
And what if it turns out
There is no other?
We had it all
If this is
Our time now
We wanna see a sign, oh
We would see a sign
So give us a sign
I need some guiding light
Children of darkness, oh
