Shine a Light — The Band

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.
