Sliver of Light

The devil's not real.
He only lives rent free in your mind.
You know God might be a construct
To help some of us unwind.
I won't pretend to comprehend all of your history.
I learned along the way true joy is not a mystery.

Many hands are waiting but you won't reach out.
Blind to the solution we've all been talking about.
Hang on to the sliver of light.
Hang on to the sliver of light.
Hang on to the sliver of light.
This time it's either do or die.

Your bases all got loaded and it's the bottom of the ninth.
The pitcher's pitching junk and the count is high.
You swing and miss and the lights went out.
Now you're in between mercy and the shadow of doubt.

It's a long dark ride to the final day,
Dragging your friends and family the whole way.
Now there's nothing anybody on earth can do
Except put our hands together one more time for you.

Hang on to the sliver of light.
This time it's either do or die.
