"Go Light A Candle" lyrics

So we took one on the chin fought a battle we couldn't win
Until it all comes 'round again it's welcome to the great unknown
So we'll taste the bitter tears till the darkness disappears
While we're leaning on each other it's welcome to the great unknown
So we'll taste the bitter tears till the darkness disappears
While we're leaning on each till we can hold our own

There's faith as a distant memory, there's faith as a thing of the past
There's faith made plain that you just can't explain
And faith that it's not gonna last, there's faith in the false prophets' scorn
That was there long before you were born
There's faith that it's all in your head
There's faith you can raise from the dead
Now go light a candle

There's faith that we lean on like crutches
There's faith without greed in its clutches
There's faith in our time of despair
When there's no one to answer your prayer
Go light a candle

Most of what I know I came by just for show
I talk too much and nothing much gets said
You'd think I were smart I'd listen to my own hear
Instead of all the crosstalk that goes on inside my head

There's faith in the eye of a needle
There's faith in a line drawn in the sand
There's faith in the words of the bible
Though we know it was written by man
And as for the wisdom of women
Just think about all those stories we've read
Like how Eve and that snake in the garden
Put dark thoughts inside poor Adams head

Hey wake up Adam
Go light a candle
