Rick Recht Knockin' Holes in the Darkness lyrics

Knockin' Holes In The Darkness

We are knockin', knockin' holes in the darkness
We are knockin', knockin'

Little boy looking out his window on a winter night
Watching close the lamplighter lighting flames into the sky
One after one after one
Flames shooting so high
Melting the darkness
Knocking holes in the sky


There was a farmer wouldn't eat
There was woman wouldn't leave her seat
There was King who had a dream ‘bout knockin holes in the darkness
One gun shot can't stop a title wave of dreams
A flood of tears, Ten thousand years tearing at the seams

We are knockin' holes in darkness
A legacy of light

The hope that holds us through the night
We are knockin' holes in the darkness
On a ladder of faith
It's a matter of when
On shoulders of love
We're knockin' holes in the darkness again

Shoulders and shoulders
Mighty shoulders under our feet
Lifting us to light the lamps
Light the night for all to see

That there are holes in our borders
There are pores in our skin
There are souls in our children
They are ready to begin
