lyrics

Let me tell you a simple story
of when I walked in darkness
And I wandered through my mind
Searching for my sins
When I told him what I’d found there
He began to cry
I asked the preacher many questions
But never asked him why

And then I saw a flicker
That turned into a flame
I felt it’s warmth
And knew its power
And it would not be tamed
I finally found a reason
For my stories and my name
And I entered into a season
With one who felt the same

As I laid down in my youth
Demons came to call
Mother told me banish them
And angels caught my fall
My friends would send me to the gallows
And look on at my shame
But he would gladly clear my name
And for me he would hang

And then I saw a flicker
That turned into a flame
I felt it’s warmth
And knew its power
And it would not be tamed
I finally found a reason
For my stories and my name
And I entered into a season
With one who felt the same

When you speak those words to me
It sounds like the thunder
Of a million whispering leaves
And I won’t go back
Oh no

And then I saw a flicker
That turned into a flame
I felt it’s warmth
And knew its power
And it would not be tamed
I finally found a reason
For my stories and my name
And I entered into a season
With one who felt the same

Let me tell you a simple story
Of how I found the light
