Make Your Own Light

You won't find it in a bottle

It's as quiet as a prayer

It's quicker than rain, thinner than air

You can't ask it of another

It's more valuable than gold

Ever out of reach, a mystery to behold

It always follows truth

It dwells deep inside

Though you search the world from low to high

You listen in the dark

In the deep of the night

You try once again, and again

You try to make your own light

You might find it in a lover

That only works for a while

Your hunger to quench, your soul to beguile

You only glimpse it for a moment

Turn your gaze away, it's gone

Everywhere and nowhere, the universe's song

If you long to go home

First, you'll have to leave

If you wanna laugh, you're gonna grieve

You listen in the dark

In the deep of the night

You try once again, and again

You try to make your own light

It always follows truth

It dwells deep inside

Though you search the world from low to high

You listen in the dark

In the deep of the night

You try once again, and again

You try to make your own light
