A Light in the Dark

Story Behind The Song

My grandpa went from peaching the Gospel in the skid-row missions to a total renunciation of God. Embracing communism, he walked out of his family and has spent the rest of his life as a con man.

Lyrics

I grew up in the plains of Iowa
Me and my brothers could fly
Everything was so much easier than
No speck in my eye
Me and Byron went to Korea to save some weary souls
I fought for my brother and I fought for my life

Then I met a woman
She changed my mind
She made better so I made her my wife

We made a family than, settled down
I wasn't always that great, but I did provide
10 years went by
I slipped into a coma of communism and anger
As God forgot my life

And I loved a woman
Whose faith would abide She was the stronger
She was my wife

I think of the man I used to be, the man I was
I used to be so good but I ain't nothin' now
I never wanted this life anyway
A wife and all these kids
I just wish they'd shut their mouths

Cause I need some answers
A light in the dark
You owe me blessings or you ain't no God
