She's leavin' for New York City
She's leavin' some things in the past
She's lookin' for new ways to feel, pretty
She doesn't know those feelings don't last
Oh they never last
Martyrs are made when death will take them
And legends of legacy
Oh in life, I'm just trying to be both things
I didn't know it wouldn't come so easily
It's not so, easy kid
Don't think this comes for free
You've got to work so hard for this
Oh its that saying you'll hear
Cause if it was, everyone would do it
So I'm pleadin' for all of the lives who'll hear
You'll be a light in dark places I know you will
You'll be a light in dark places dear, I know you will
La da da da I know you will
So take a step from you situation
Look hard at what others may, see
They've got a completely different background
They're living a different story
Cause It's not so, easy kid
Don't think this comes for free
You've got to work so hard for this
Oh its that saying you'll hear
Cause if it was, everyone would do it
So I'm pleadin' for all of the lives who'll hear
You'll be a light in dark places I know you will
You'll be a light in dark places dear, I know you will
La da da da I know you will
