There’s no light
Ooh, down and out as darkness falls
So much more than he can take
Oh, shakes the cage in deep withdrawals
Come on, give the boy a break
Oh, he will break
He’s no mistake
Chase that light, lean on me
Face that fight, lean on me
Catch your fall, lean on me
End it all, lean on me
Struggle on ‘cause without darkness
Without darkness, there’s no light
Ooh, lost his way through wicked streets
But he is someone’s little boy
Oh, all the love a young one needs
Thoughtless еlders have destroyеd
Endless destroy
He’s just a boy
Chase that light, lean on me
Face that fight, lean on me
Catch your fall, lean on me
End it all, lean on me
Struggle on ‘cause without darkness
Without darkness, there’s no light
One step down, block it all from view
One step down, with apathy, look straight through
One step down, turn so you won’t see
One step down, he’s just like you and me
Chase that light, lean on me
Face that fight, lean on me
Catch your fall, lean on me
End it all, lean on me
Struggle on ‘cause without darkness
Without darkness, there’s no light
There’s no light
