[Verse 1]
Like a friend of a friend
Walking 'round town
Talkin' that stuff
And you think you're on top
But you find that you just ain't enough
Walkin' 'round, head down
All by yourself late at night, yeah
And the black of the street
Blends up into the stark night sky

[Refrain]
But the light shines brightest in the dark
(Shine brightest in the dark)
All you need is a match
To start a little spark

[Chorus]
'Cause the light shines brightest in the dark
(Shine brightest in the dark)
'Cause the light shines brightest in the dark
(Hey hey, hey hey)

[Verse 2]
Like a seed that you lost
In the garden of your own desire
And you must've been counting
All the things that you hadn't acquired
Oh, ignite your torch
And fill your heart up with fire
[Refrain]
'Cause the light shines brightest in the dark
(Shine brightest in the dark)
All you need is a flint
To start a little spark

[Chorus]
'Cause the light shines brightest in the dark
(Shine brightest in the dark)
'Cause the light shines brightest in the dark
(Hey hey, hey hey)

[Outro]
Oh you're a point of light in the sky of stars
Even when this world is feeling so bizarre
'Cause the light shines brightest in the dark now
'Cause the light shines brightest in the dark
(Hey hey, hey hey)
(Hey hey, hey hey)
