Sometimes the Brightest Light Comes from the Darkest Place - The Mission

Put the black crepe and the coolin' board away

Take the bunting down I ain’t leaving town today

The choice is yours and so is the consequence

You don’t win no medal for sitting on the fence

Sometime the warmest smile comes from the saddest face

Sometimes the brightest light comes from the darkest place

Don’t talk of ghosts while the sun still shines

There’s gold aplenty waiting in the mines

I have no fear of death but I am scared of dying

And the heaven they are selling I just ain’t buying

Sometimes the truest kiss comes with a whore’s embrace

Sometimes the brightest light comes from the darkest place

Sleep is for dreamers and dreaming is for fools

If you’ve got guilt to carry then know carrying’s for mules

It’s the fate of man to live not as God

Whoever wrote the book was such a silly sod

Sometimes the fastest thrill comes from the longest chase

Sometimes the brightest light comes from the darkest place

Death never takes the wise man by surprise

But who here among us can call themselves wise

God whispers in my ear that my halo is aflame

It’s too easy to look for someone else to blame

Sometimes the weakest man fights with the strongest faith

Sometimes the biggest prizes comes from the shortest race

Sometimes the slightest sigh fills up the biggest space

Sometimes the brightest light comes from the darkest place
