Darker Places Lyrics

To the church he was a sinner
To the sinners he was a saint
My dad�s only brother
I just called him Frank

He spent most of his time
In honky-tonk�s and bars
He could quote the good book
Or he could show you scars

To a fourteen year old boy
He was a walk�n mystery
I�d ask him about those friends of his
And he�d say to me

You can�t save a soul that�s already been saved
You can�t help a drown�n man from watching from the bank
You gotta get out there with �em
Look �em in their eye and see their faces
Cause you know a candle shines much brighter
In darker places

Three years ago today
He left us all here
Stand�n on a hillside
Fight�n back the tears
It was quite a congregation
From all walks of life
Preachers and drunkards
Skin both black and white
He got us all together
Just like he said it�s �posed to be
One last time Frank try�n to make us see

You can�t save a soul that�s already been saved
You can�t help a drown�n man from watching from the bank
You gotta get out there with �em
Look �em in their eye and see their faces
Cause you know a candle shines much brighter
In darker places

You can�t save a soul that�s already been saved
You can�t help a drown�n man from watching from the bank

You gotta get out there with �em
Look �em in their eye and see their faces
Cause you know a candle shines much brighter

Yeah you know a candle shines much brighter
In darker places

In darker places
