Jay Teter Lyrics
Darker Places Lyrics
To the church he was a sinner
To the sinners he was a saint
My dads only brother
I just called him Frank
He spent most of his time
In honky-tonks and bars
He could quote the good book
Or he could show you scars
To a fourteen year old boy
He was a walkn mystery
Id ask him about those friends of his
And hed say to me
You cant save a soul thats already been saved
You cant help a drownn man from watching from the bank
You gotta get out there with em
Look em in their eye and see their faces
Cause you know a candle shines much brighter
In darker places
Three years ago today
He left us all here
Standn on a hillside
Fightn back the tears
It was quite a congregation
From all walks of life
Preachers and drunkards
Skin both black and white
He got us all together
Just like he said its posed to be
One last time Frank tryn to make us see
You cant save a soul thats already been saved
You cant help a drownn man from watching from the bank
You gotta get out there with em
Look em in their eye and see their faces
Cause you know a candle shines much brighter
In darker places
You cant save a soul thats already been saved
You cant help a drownn man from watching from the bank
You gotta get out there with em
Look em in their eye and see their faces
Cause you know a candle shines much brighter
Yeah you know a candle shines much brighter
In darker places
In darker places
