Jon Batiste – The Light Shines Brightest In The Dark Lyrics

 

The Light Shines Brightest In The Dark Lyrics (From Marlowe)

 

Like a friend of a friend
Walking round town, talkin’ that stuff
And you think you’re on top
But you find that you just ain’t enough
Walkin’ ‘round, head down
All by yourself late at night
Yeah
And the black of the street
Blends up into the stark night sky

But the light shines brightest in the dark
Shine brightest in the dark
All you need is a match
To start a little spark, yeah
‘Cause the light shines brightest in the dark
Shine brightest in the dark
‘Cause the light shines brightest in the dark
Hey-hey, hey-hey

Like a seed that you lost
In the garden of your own desire
And you must’ve been counting
All the things that you hadn’t acquired
Oh, ignite your torch and fill your heart up
With fire

‘Cause the light, it shines brightest in the dark
Shine brightest in the dark
All you need is a flint
To start a little spark
‘Cause the light shines brightest in the dark
Shine brightest in the dark
Yeah, the light shines brightest in the dark now
Hey-hey, hey-hey

Oh, you’re a point of light in the sky of stars
Even when this world is feeling so bizarre
‘Cause the light shines brightest in the dark now
‘Cause the light shines brightest in the dark now, yeah

Hey, hey
Hey-hey, hey-hey
Hey
Hey-hey, hey-hey
