From outside the open window
|
How the faithful was gathered to sing
|
As the tears swelled up inside me
|
Still 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 run 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
|
I'll search for the one above me
|
Just like I said
|
|
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 the way,
|
|
Somebody shine a light, show me the way
|
Make it 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.
