It don't make no sense to light no candle
If you're going to just sit right back down in the dark
It might take more than you can handle


To maybe stop livin' life on the lark
You know the world's always gonna to be stark

So stand in the light and leave a visible mark

Take a little break out on the porch swing

And blow smoke rings as the day turns into night
Breathe the sweet air of the evening
and wait for the light to fade to dark

then look to the sky for a little spark
and bathe in the light and leave you visible mark


You know we all got scars we've gathered along the way
And you might believe that you can hide them
But you know damn well you can't hold the world at bay

No you can't keep the world away
You've got to walk through it each and every single day



It don't make no sense to light no candle
If you're going to just sit right back down in the dark

It might take more than you can handle

Leave your visible mark...
