Shine a light, shine a light
|
|
Oh you've got to careful in this world a little sister said to me
|
Beware of the silver tongue which hides a gun and a tyranny
|
It will speak in words of water
|
It will drown you in its lies
|
You must be like the fish in the river
|
Ad learn to swim against the tide
|
|
CHORUS:
|
Some of de man give light in de darkness
|
Some of de man he give a cry
|
Some of de man he gonna live through the season
|
Some of de man he gonna die
|
Yo yo mam ye!
|
|
The wheel turn around
|
Give me no rest
|
She want to hear me cry
|
In the darkness
|
- Shine a light!
|
I drop to the ground
|
And hope for the best
|
I'm going through the eye
|
Of the hurricane
|
- Shine a light!
|
|
Oh it's such a sad feeling to see the swallows in the sky
|
It's like you leaving me behind without saying goodbye
|
I've got to be like a bird in winter
|
I've got to learn how to fly
|
And if you ever leave
|
I'll also take to the sky
|
|
CHORUS
|
|
Speak to me slow slow
|
What's going on
|
I don't know
|
Someone's on the run
|
Speak to me slow slow
|
Has it all begun
|
I don't know
|
If he'll make this one
|
Speak to me slow slow
|
What's the time
|
Idon't know
|
Can I save this life of mine
|
|
CHORUS
