Somebody told a story Somebody took a soul away Now I know what you show me Now I know what I'll take away Nobody knows this story Nobody hears the words you say Now I don't move that slowly Now I don't like to sit and wait Light Shed light What'd this condition take away Search for a single word to say Every lost connection Fades from your recollection Locked in your room alone all day Show me a different story One from the books you gave away I'm careful with what you show me I might want to pass it on one day A place with some real history A sliver of light cuts through a safe The stories that came before me A box full of photographs and tapes Light Shed light
