about

"Darkness Brings Out the Light in Me" is a true story of singer Bill See's absent biological father, having been diagnosed with cancer, reaching out to him after being absent his whole life but being rebuffed.

lyrics

DARKNESS BRINGS OUT THE LIGHT IN ME

I got a call today, a stranger says he’s dying and wants to meet me.
And now he says he needs me, but I don’t need him to complete me.

ch. Don’t come around here and tell me now that you wanna be my
father
And if you thought you destroyed me, now, it only made me
stronger
So long, and get thee gone…
Now nothing frightens me ‘cos darkness brings out the light in me
Nothing frightens me…darkness brings out the light in me.

I’d vowed to God and to the stars that I would never become who you are.
And now as I take my stand, I’m the father that I never had.

ch: Don’t come around here and tell me now that you wanna be my
father
And if you thought you destroyed me, now, it only made me
stronger
So long -- and get thee gone…
Now nothing frightens me ‘cos darkness brings out the light in me
Nothing frightens me…darkness brings out the light in me
