[Verse 1]
When it's gettin' dark
When my flame won't start
When it's lookin' stark
Feel like I'm stuck between the cliff and the creatures that bark
I make a space in my mind
I see your face facin' mine
Sometimes it startles me blind
When I see just how you shine

[Chorus]
When you let a little light in
Let a little light in
You'll find it's not so frightenin'
Not every day's a fight to win
If you let a little light in

[Verse 2]
When my balance breaks
When I'm sideways and reelin'
When the static shakes
When I'm losin' the feelin'
I listen in through the noise
I picture your perfect poise
I hear your whisperin' voice
Say "Honey you got not choice
[Chorus]
"But to let a little light in
"Let a little light in
"You'll find it's not so frightenin'
"Not every day's a fight to win
"If you let a little... "

[Chorus]
Let a little light in
Let a little light in
You'll find it's not so frightenin'
Not every day's a fight to win
If you let a little light in

[Chorus]
Let a little light in
Let a little light in
You'll find it's not so frightenin'
Not every day's a fight to win
