text: Well now on a summer night in a dusky room
  Come a little piece of the Lords undying light
  Crying like he swallowed the fiery moon
  In his mothers arms it was all the beauty I could take
  Like the missing words to some prayer that I could never make
  In a world so hard and dirty so fouled and confused
  Searching for a little bit of Gods mercy
  I found living proof
  I put my heart and soul I put em high upon a shelf
  Right next to the faith the faith that Id lost in myself
  I went down into the desert city
  Just tryin so hard to shed my skin
  I crawled deep into some kind of darkness
  Lookin to burn out every trace of who Id been
  You do some sad sad things baby
  When its you youre tryin to lose
  You do some sad and hurtful things
  Ive seen living proof
  You shot through my anger and rage
  To show me my prison was just an open cage
  There were no keys no guards
  Just one frightened man and some old shadows for bars
  Well now all thats sure on the boulevard
  Is that life is just a house of cards
  As fragile as each and every breath
  Of this boy sleepin in our bed
  Tonight lets lie beneath the eaves
  Just a close band of happy thieves
  And when that train comes well get on board
  And steal what we can from the treasures treasures of the Lord
  Its been a long long drought baby
  Tonight the rains pourin down on our roof
  Looking for a little bit of Gods mercy
  I found living proof
