Pleas Lyrics - Widespread Panic

They say turn the bright lights on 

And there you'll find the truth 

Here, open up this book 

And now you'll find the proof 

It feels like a can of worms 

Keep the lid on tight, and they say 

Don't let it get too bright 

Don't let it get too bright 

Don't let it get too bright 

No, not this time 

They tell me it takes sorrow, boy 

To help you feel the joy 

They say it takes poverty 

To let you love a toy 

Now you can't have the good 

Until you've shared the bad 

Don't let it get too sad 

Don't let it get too sad 

Don't let it get too sad 

No, not this time, time 

They say it takes hardship, boy 

To let you love the rest 

Sometimes underneath the load 

Is where I show my best 

Go, put your work clothes on 

Go and leave your mark 

And they say 

Don't let it get too dark 

Don't let it get too dark 

Don't let it get too dark 

No, not this time
