Neighborhood #3 (Power Out)

Lyrics

I woke up with the power out
 Not really something to shout about
 
 Ice has covered up my parents hands
 Don't have any dreams don't have any plans
 I went out into the night
 I went out to find some light
 
 Kids are swingin' from the power lines
 Nobody's home, so nobody minds
 I woke up on the darkest night
 Neighbors all were shoutin' that they found the light
 (We found the light)
 Shadows jumpin' all over the walls
 Some of them big, some of them small
 
 I went out into the night
 I went out to pick a fight with anyone
 Light a candle for the kids
 Jesus Christ don't keep it hid
 ♪
 Ice has covered up my parents hands
 Don't have any dreams, don't have any plans
 
 Growin' up in some strange storm
 Nobody's cold, nobody's warm
 
 I went out into the night
 I went out to find some light
 Kids are dyin' out in the snow
 Look at them go, look at them go
 ♪
 And the power's out in the heart of man
 Take it from your heart put in your hand
 (Hand)
 ♪
 What's the plan? What's the plan?
 Is it a dream? Is it a lie?
 I think I'll let you decide
 Just light a candle for the kids
 Jesus Christ don't keep it hid
 'Cause nothin's hid, from us kids
 You ain't foolin' nobody with the lights out
 ♪
 And the power's out in the heart of man
 Take it from your heart, put in your hand
 And there's something wrong in the heart of man
 Take it from your heart and put it in your hand
 (Hand, the lights out, hand, right now, hand)
 
 I woke up with the power out
 Not really something to shout about
 
 Ice has covered up my parents hands
 Don't have any dreams don't have any plans
 I went out into the night
 I went out to find some light
 
 Kids are swingin' from the power lines
 Nobody's home, so nobody minds
 I woke up on the darkest night
 Neighbors all were shoutin' that they found the light
 (We found the light)
 Shadows jumpin' all over the walls
 Some of them big, some of them small
 
 I went out into the night
 I went out to pick a fight with anyone
