Why is the world so in pain?
Isn't there enough love to go around?
I'm clutching to the 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
Hope in on the other side
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 can hear I long to feel you near
I can hear when heaven cries so dim the lights
And close my eyes
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
Tears from heaven will fall
