You think you can run away
You think you can lie to me
But I know that the answers are
Just outside my reach
And if I have to venture out
Into the darkest night
To bring you back to life
Then there's only one thing I need

If I'm gonna see outside the shadows
I'm gonna need a lantern
That burns brighter than the day
Brighter than the pain that's
Raging through my heart
And coursing through my veins
Coursing through my veins

I don't know what you've heard about me
But I know what I feel
If you can't believe my words
Then let me show you this is real
The further you get from me
The more my eyes are open wide
And its only a matter of time until
You can see this light

If I'm gonna see outside the shadows
I'm gonna need a lantern
That burns brighter than the day
Brighter than the pain that's
Raging through my heart
And coursing through my veins
Coursing through my veins

When the darkness comes I'm ready and waiting
When the darkness comes I will be here
When the darkness comes I'm ready and waiting
With my lantern held high

If I'm gonna see outside the shadows
I'm gonna need a lantern
That burns brighter than the day
Brighter than the pain that's
Raging through my heart
And coursing through my veins
Coursing through my veins
