You tell me there's no darkness
   While the sun shines down on yo u
   And just because your life is peaceful
   There's no fighting left to do
   For every cup that runneth over
   Many more are filled with pain
   You talk to me of sunshine
   When it's pouring down with rain
  
   Just because you can't see it
   Doesn't mean it isn't there
   Just because it can't touch you
   Doesn't mean you shouldn't care
   For every life that's lit with love
   Many more are racked with pain
   You talk to me of sunshine
   When it's pouring down with rain
  
   Chorus
  
   It's a long black night, good people
   Descended on our land
   Share your light
   Make a flower grow
   In the desert sand
