lyrics

Community living in the dark
Only glowing plants for light
We dream of going far away
But Earth is out of sight
Someone thinks we should cross the mountains
But only darkness they'll find
If family tries to follow them
It'll be suicide

We need the light
We need the light
We need the light that Planet Earth can provide
Eden is too dark
Eden is too dark
Eden is too dark oh maybe we'll leave at last

We need the light
We need the light
We need the light that Planet Earth can provide
Eden is too dark
Eden is too dark
Eden is too dark oh maybe we'll leave at last

We are running out of food
If we don't move we'll die
We need to wait in the clearing
The Companions will arrive
But what if they never come for us?
What if we're here alone?
Don't think like that just hang on
One day we'll go home

We need the light
We need the light
We need the light that Planet Earth can provide
Eden is too dark
Eden is too dark
Eden is too dark oh maybe we'll leave at last

We need the light
We need the light
We need the light that Planet Earth can provide
Eden is too dark
Eden is too dark
Eden is too dark oh maybe we'll leave at last

Ooooooohhhh
Ooooooohhhh
Ooooooohhhh
Ooooooohhhh
Ooooooohhhh
Ooooooohhhh
Ooooooohhhh
Ooooooohhhh

We need the light
We need the light
We need the light that Planet Earth can provide
Eden is too dark
Eden is too dark
Eden is too dark oh maybe we'll leave at last

We need the light
We need the light
We need the light that Planet Earth can provide
Eden is too dark
Eden is too dark
Eden is too dark oh maybe we'll leave at last
