Divine Light


I know it's hard
I know you're struggling
And I can't say I've been through
It but I've been somewhere like it too
And my dark side's not so dark when I'm with you

I know you have somewhere to go
And you may not want me to follow
But if you ever lose your mind
Just stay there and look behind
And I'll be picking up the pieces running to your rescue

'Cause thinking of you
I feel a kind of divine light
Lifting us up
Away from the reservation
Hand me downs of pain

And when there's nothing left to do
Nowhere to spend the night
Our love's a blanket of trust
In a pouring homeless nation's
Cold poor relentless rain



So never say you're alone
When I just want to hold you
You can ask me for the world
I'll give it like a string of pearls
Thanking heaven for every breath you take
Every mistake we make
That leads me to you

'Cause thinking of you
I feel a kind of divine light
Lifting us up
Away from the reservation
Hand me downs of pain

And when there's nothing left to do
Nowhere to spend the night
Our love is a blanket of trust
In a pouring homeless nation's
Cold poor relentless rain
