I woke up with the power out

Not really something to shout about

Ice has covered up my parents hands

Don't have any dreams don't have any plans

I went out into the night

I went out to find some light

Kids are swingin' from the power lines

Nobody's home, so nobody minds

I woke up on the darkest night

Neighbors all were shoutin' that they found the light

("We found the light")

Shadows jumpin' all over my walls

Some of them big, some of them small

I went out into the night

I went out to pick a fight with anyone

Light a candle for the kids

Jesus christ don't keep it hid!

Ice has covered up my parents hands

Don't have any dreams don't have any plans

Growin' up in some strange storm

Nobody's cold, nobody's warm

I went out into the night

I went out to find some light

Kids are dyin' out in the snow

Look at them go, look at them go!

And the power's out in the heart of man

Take it from your heart put in your hand

What's the plan?

Is it a dream? Is it a lie?

I think I'll let you decide

Just light a candle for the kids

Jesus christ don't keep it hid!

Cause nothin's hid, from us kids!

You ain't foolin' nobody with the lights out!

And the power's out in the heart of man

Take it from your heart put in your hand

And there's something wrong in the heart of man

You take it from your heart and put it in your hand!

Where'd you go?
