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
