The world is fierce, it's hard as nails
When you do good but goodness fails
You crawl the road that others run
Don't dim your light for anyone

Your heart is gold, your words take flight
But words won't keep you warm at night
When living feels like hit and run
Don't dim your light for anyone

I don't know why things get this tough
But I know you and you're enough
Every darkness has to take its turn
So give your fire a little time to burn

Some trust in God, some just pass through
But me, my love, I trust in you
When all that stuff blocks out the sun
Don't dim your light for anyone

I don't know why things get this tough
But I know you and you're enough
Every darkness has to take its turn
So give your fire a little time to burn

Some trust in God, some just pass through
But me, my love, I trust in you
When all that stuff blocks out the sun
Don't dim your light for anyone
