[Intro] [acoustic guitar strumming in G major] [Verse 1] You wear it like a rite In the heat of the night When you cross into the light No one sees the fight Make no bones about it It comes and it fulfills All the joy a room can hold But it's never here to stay 'Cause you left it in the light [Verse 2] You step onto the boards And the people see your grace But they never know the cost 'Cause it's a rhythm you rehearsed Hidden in a time of darkness, why? Hidden in a time of darkness, why? [Verse 3] You carry what they need to see But it's never what it looks like Like a pretty house with no one home And it holds until it don't It's hidden in a grove of white But you carry more than this And I know it strikes you once Now it's gone and gone to rest And you want it to be crossed With the moon at rest Right into your ways Right into your ways [Vocal Break] [vocalizing over acoustic guitar] Do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do (×4) [Verse 4] You step inside my quiet room And you carry in your truth And I gave it all away If you could give me just one day Show me how it finds the way I might only be the one To shake it all around [Outro] Oh-oh-oh-oh you might be grown Oh-oh-oh-oh you might be strong But I'm not the one to blame For this time it's on my way And it's stolen on away
