Shine A Light

From outside the open window

How the faithful was gathered to sing

As the tears welled up inside me

Spilled down in a mournful rain



And all sands of time stood still

As the procession climbed the hill

And off in the distance, it's a mother running away

The father turned to say



Somebody shine a light, show me the way

Take me through the night to the break of day

Won't you shine a light so I can see?

Lift up these chains of darkness and set me free



Lookin' through the open window

I can see where I went wrong

I quit searching for the rainbow

I forgot where I belong



Then the darkness dips around me

And I have no strength to fight

Though I'll search for those who love me

And I'll search for the one above me

Said just like I'm gonna say



Somebody shine a light, show me the way

Take me through the night to the break of day

Won't you shine a light so I can see?

Lift up these chains of darkness and set me free



And all sands of time stood still

As the echo crossed my window sill

I heard it plain as day, I could hear 'em sing

I'm trying to find my way



Somebody shine a light, show me the way

Take me through the night to the break of day

Won't you shine a light so I can see?

Lift up these chains of darkness and set me free



Shine a light, show me the way

Take me through the night to the break of day

Shine a light, so I can see

Lift up these chains of darkness and set me free



Shine a light, so I can see

Lift up these chains of darkness and set me free
