Where The World Began Lyrics - John Mellencamp

Written by: John Mellencamp and George M. Green 

I'm tired of being grateful for a chance to take a dive 

I'm sick of everything I do just to keep myself alive 

When you cut away the skin that bears the brand 

Standin' in the darkness, Baby, there I am 

Standin' in the darkness 

Someone call my name out 

Standin' in the darkness 

Someone put the flame out 

Standin' in the darkness 

Baby, there I am 

Where the world began

Saw the man in Jamaica, he had a shadow on his back 

I recalled the ring of fire, and he wore his suit of black 

When the legend and the ocean meet the sand 

Standin' in the darkness, Baby, there I am 

Standin' in the darkness 

Someone call my name out 

Standin' in the darkness 

Someone put the flame out 

Standin' in the darkness 

Baby, there I am 

Where the world began 

Everyone is so fabulous, hey, we all got our gun 

Old Snakey's not a sinner, no, he just shows us how it's done 

When you separate the wretched from the damned 

Standin' in the darkness, Baby, there I am
