Why is the world so in pain? Isn't there enough love to go around? I'm clutching to my cross on my chains They rattle as I drag them through today I don't know if you can hear But I need someone near Hold this body and say Close the door and close my eyes Oh, when the lights are low Tears from heaven will fall On my heart, on my heart I can feel them clean my soul And take my sadness away When the lights are low I'm not alone, I'm not alone, no Oh, only when the lights are low in my room I can be away from it all Oh, only when the lights are low in my room I can be away from it all I walk on the ground of an earthquake There doesn't seem to be anywhere safe I listen for the sound, like endless space 'Cause when I hear the cry my fears erase Now I know that you hear I long to feel you near I can hear when heaven cries So dim the lights and close my eyes Oh, when the lights are low Tears from heaven will fall On my heart, on my heart I can feel them clean my soul And take my sadness away When the lights are low I'm not alone, I'm not alone, no Oh, when the lights are low Tears from heaven will fall On my heart, on my heart I can feel them clean my soul And take my sadness away When the lights are low I'm not alone, I'm not alone, no Oh, only when the lights are low in my room I can be away from it all Oh, only when the lights are low in my room Tears from heaven will fall
