The darkest tear that you can cry
Has a light inside
A light inside
The light will lead you further in
To a voice that breaks
Open wide
The saddest song that you can sing
Has a certain ring
Like anything shining
 
You don’t have to dress it up
You don’t have to hide behind
Someone else’s bright idea
Of how to feel
 
The longest night you lie awake
Holds a dream inside
A dream inside
The dream will lead you further in
To a wishing well
Starry-eyed
The deepest well you tumble through
Has a glimmer of
Something you know is true
 
You don’t have to dress it up
You don’t have to hide behind
Someone else’s bright idea
Of what is real
 
The darkest tear that you can cry
Has a light inside
A light inside
