Song For Someone (Live from Vancouver)

Rogers Arena Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada
2015-5-15
Broadcast on NBC for Red Nose Day, 5-21-2015

This is Song for Someone
Tonight it’s a song for anyone who supports Red Nose Day
All across America
For Red Nose Day has come to America

You got face not spoiled by beauty
I have some scars from where I’ve been
You got eyes that can see right through me
You’re not afraid of anything they’ve seen

I was told that I would feel nothing the first time
I don’t know how these cuts heal
But in you I found a rhyme

If there is a light you can’t always see
And there is a world we can’t always be
If there is a dark that you shouldn’t doubt
And there is a light, don’t let it go out

And this is a song…
A song for someone
This is a song…
A song for someone

You let me in to a conversation
A conversation only we could make
You break and enter my imagination
Whatever’s in there it’s yours to take

I was told I’d feel nothing the first time
You were slow to heal
But this could be the night

If there is a light you can’t always see
And there is a world we can’t always be
If there is a dark within and without
And there is a light, don’t let it go out

And this is a song…
A song for someone
This is a song…
A song for someone

Yeah
Yeah, yeah, yeah
Yeah
Yeah, yeah, yeah

And I’m a long… way
From your hill on Calvary
And I’m a long way
From where I was, and where I need to be

If there is a light (you) can’t always see
And there is a world we can’t always be
I know there’s plenty of reasons to doubt
But if there is a light, don’t let it go out
