I always thought I'd set the world on fire
With my dreams as kindling, the match was my desire
Now the rain won't stop - it's all too wet to burn
And as I try to light this sodden wood I learn
This was never in the blueprint
This was never part of my plan
I've been struggling here forever
And everybody's running past me to the dry land
I see all the other torches
Lighting up the night
I am right here with my matches burning bright

CHORUS:
And no one needs my little light
No one needs my little light
No one needs my little light

With my coat turned up, my back against the rain
I will cup my hands to shield this fragile flame
There's a bonfire blazing just around the bend
And it would be so easy to toss my match right in
All my friends are there together
Warmth, safety and a soup can
I've been struggling here forever
And everybody's running past me to the dry land
I see all the other torches
Lighting up the night
I am right here with my matches burning bright

CHORUS

I'll be shining like a beacon
When the other embers are dying
I'll be flying like an eagle
Burning up the skyline, or die trying
It's a lonely mission and a solitary fight
But I will stay here with my matches burning bright

CHORUS:
If no one needs my little light
If no one needs my little light
It's there for me, my little light
I'll never leave my little light
