lyrics

Been out walking alone for so long
Nothing is right when everything is wrong
The night goes ever one when I can’t see the dawn
Need to get some help to see the road I’m on
‘Cause the road is paved with heartache and pain
Of everyday troubles that hit me again and again
And leave me a loss to try to explain
Why it is what it is, it’s the same old refrain

Moving down a dark street
One step further from ever being free
Dark can’t beat darkness only light will let us see
As we’re moving down a dark street

Dirt and dust in front of me hanging in the air so thick
Pain in my head makes me feel sick
Always chose the wrong path no matter how I picked
What seemed the easy way was just a nasty trick
Sick of the bullshit and the everyday lack
Of hopeful light to push away the black
Feelings and thoughts that won’t go away
No matter what is done or what I say

Moving down a dark street
One step further from ever being free
Dark can’t beat darkness only light will let us see
As we’re moving down a dark street

Moving away from a dark place
Back to living amongst the human race
Light will beat the darkness, light will set us free
Keep us moving away from a dark street

Moving away from a dark street
One step closer to being free
Light can beat the darkness, light will let us see
Keep us moving away from a dark street

Mike Birch Methuen, Massachusetts

For Mike, it all started on a Sunday night in 1964 ... February 9 ... the Beatles took the stage on the Ed Sullivan show and while the girls in the audience screamed, his parents and grandparents exclaimed about the "long hairs", a 7-year-old boy thought, 'I'm going to learn to play the guitar one day!' ... more
