Bm
I walked into town with a message for my old man
           G                                  Bm
I got the last two chapters of Matthew in my hand
Bm                                                  Bm
Steve painting houses while Bobby went and gone insane
      G                                        Em
They buried my sister but daddy he stayed the same

Chorus:
Em                         G
Follow the sun out of the night,
                             Bm  A
Brother just lean in to the light
Em                                 G
You want to be sure I'll give you sight,
                             Bm  A
Brother just lean in to the light

His hands still shake when the ponies break out on the track
His feet still quick when they say they want their money back
But Daddy did you think that you could outrun the Holy Ghost?
Lie, cheat, steal, hope they fix it all up in post

The book will be open in front of the judge
Unquenchable fire, or keys to the kingdom

Chorus:
Follow the sun out of the night
Brother, just lean into the light
You wanna be sure, I’ll give you sight
Brother, just lean into the light
The road to the kingdom's burnin' bright
Brother, just lean into the light

     G                                    Bm
You heard that the master was traveling through
          G                                  Bm
But what would you do if he walked into the room
 G                                  Bm   G
Make for the left or break for the right
                    F#m
Brother just lean in,
                             Bm
brother just lean it to the light

Chorus:
Follow the sun out of the night
Brother, just lean into the light
(Just lean into the light)
You wanna be sure, I’ll give you sight
Brother, just lean into the light
(Just lean into the light)
The road to the kingdom's burnin' bright
Brother, just lean into the light
(Just lean into the light)
Follow the sun out of the night
Brother, just lean into the light

Here comes the calling
Here comes the calling
