Where The World Began

Written by: John Mellencamp and George M. Green
 I'm tired of being grateful for a chance to take a dive
 I'm sick of everything I do just to keep myself alive
 When you cut away the skin that bears the brand
 Standin' in the darkness, Baby, there I am
 Standin' in the darkness
 Someone call my name out
 Standin' in the darkness
 Someone put the flame out
 Standin' in the darkness
 Baby, there I am
 Where the world began
 Saw the man in Jamaica, he had a shadow on his back
 I recalled the ring of fire, and he wore his suit of black
 When the legend and the ocean meet the sand
 Standin' in the darkness, Baby, there I am
 Standin' in the darkness
 Someone call my name out
 Standin' in the darkness
 Someone put the flame out
 Standin' in the darkness
 Baby, there I am
 Where the world began
 Everyone is so fabulous, hey, we all got our gun
 Old Snakey's not a sinner, no, he just shows us how it's done
 When you separate the wretched from the damned
 Standin' in the darkness, Baby, there I am
 Standin' in the darkness
 Someone call my name out
 Standin' in the darkness
 Someone put the flame out
 Standin' in the darkness
 Baby, there I am
 Where the world began
