|
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. |
