When The Light Gets In

She drew a little doorway on a boarded-up wall Said,

"You ever feel this isn't everything at all?" I said,

"Baby, that's a brick." She said,

"That's a bet." Then she climbed the fire escape in her Sunday

best Red shoes, chipped paint,

city half-asleep She was laughing at the pavement underneath her feet Said,

"Impossible's a word that everybody agrees." Then she reached across the gap

and held a hand out to me

I don't need a perfect ending

I don't need a guarantee

If the world won't make a doorway Come and climb the wall

with me

OH, LOOK WHAT WE FOUND

UP WHERE THE LIGHT GETS IN!

THE WHOLE WORLD TURNED AROUND WHEN WE STOPPED ASKING PERMISSION!

IF THE ROAD RUNS OUT TONIGHT WE'LL MAKE ANOTHER WAY THROUGH I

NEVER KNEW

THE SKY WAS THIS WIDE TILL I SAW IT NEXT TO YOU!

Two floors up, rooftop full of rain She was dancing on the

gravel like a runaway train "Where are we going?" "Haven't got a

clue." Then the windows lit up across the avenue Old man on

a balcony, kid in a kitchen chair Somebody sent a paper plane

sailing through the air She caught it,

read the message, laughed until she cried: "WHOEVER FINDS THIS,

TELL MY BROTHER THAT I TRIED." She folded it again,

sent it flying down the street Said,

"Somewhere there's a stranger who could use a little belief." Watched that

tiny airplane disappear beyond the lights Like a piece of somebody's courage

taking flight

I don't need a perfect ending

I don't need a guarantee

If the world won't make a doorway Come and climb the wall

with me

OH, LOOK WHAT WE FOUND UP WHERE THE LIGHT GETS IN!

THE WHOLE WORLD TURNED AROUND WHEN WE STOPPED ASKING PERMISSION!

IF THE ROAD RUNS OUT TONIGHT WE'LL MAKE ANOTHER WAY THROUGH

I NEVER KNEW THE SKY WAS THIS WIDE TILL I SAW IT

NEXT TO YOU! I

CAN SEE IT NOOOOOOW!

OH, LOOK WHAT WE FOUND UP WHERE THE LIGHT GETS IN!

THE WHOLE WORLD TURNED AROUND WHEN WE STOPPED ASKING PERMISSION!

IF THE ROAD RUNS OUT TONIGHT WE'LL MAKE ANOTHER WAY THROUGH

I NEVER KNEW

THE SKY WAS THIS WIDE TILL I SAW IT NEXT TO YOU!

If the world won't make a doorway

Come and climb the wall with me
