I see a light it's strange as you

And there's nothing I can say
Bb G
There's no way I can prove
F# G
That there's a place
F#
Beyond this room

But still, there's something in the way
Bb G
The light comes shining through

And in the way

The curtains move

In a pained and earnest scrawl

There's nowhere to hide, we're terrified
