There's a Trick of the Light I'm Learning to Do, a song

The second track from my latest release, a song about overcoming depression and discovering the grace of God on the way through.

 

There's a trick of the light I'm learning to do

Where I stand in the dark but don't believe that it's true

And I stare down the shadows till I catch a glimpse of you

There's a trick of the light I'm learning to do

When I'm incandescent

In your incandescence

There's a trick of the light I'm learning to do

The noonday demon dropped by just the other day

Kicking ass and taking names

I went out to greet him told him that he couldn't stay

But if he wanted I knew someone who could break his chains

There's a trick of the light I'm learning to do

Where I stand in the dark but don't believe that it's true

And I stare down the shadows till I catch a glimpse of you

There's a trick of the light I'm learning to do

Where I'm incandescent

In your incandescence

There's a trick of the light I'm learning to do

And Candy stopped by to say hi the other day

Dressed to kill and all alone

I didn't have the heart to turn her away

So I blessed the child and helped her find her way home

There's a trick of the light I'm learning to do

Where I stand in the dark but don't believe that it's true

And I stare down the shadows till I catch a glimpse of you

There's a trick of the light I'm learning to do

When I'm incandescent

In your incandescence

There's a trick of the light I'm learning to do

And Billy fell from grace, O just the other day

Maybe he climbed a bit too high

But by your grace I know I might have gone that way

So now I'm calling him back into the blue sky

There's a trick of the light I'm learning to do

Where I stand in the dark but don't believe that it's true

And I stare down the shadows till I catch a glimpse of you

There's a trick of the light I'm learning to do

When I'm incandescent

In your incandescence

There's a trick of the light I'm learning to do
