Shine Your Light
shine your light
shine it down on me
when i was a boy
and my mind unclear
yeah i would toil
always in fear
when i was a boy
in need of a fright
and i just pondered
for the rest of my life
shine your light
shine your light on me
now i am a man
and my world is down
try to keep my head on
my way is not found
now i am a man
still tears i do shed
unto the ground
where many men has bled
shine your light
shine your light on me
now im close to the grave
to late for help now
i don't want to be saved
any way i don't know how
now im close to the grave
all my money is spent
on my bed my head is layed
and i ain't payed the rent
sine your light
shine your light on me
and im close to tears
as im looking back
all over my years
it ain't just wisdom i lack
so im close to tears
i cant seem to fight
got my family near
and they say its alright
well shine your light
down upon me
let me see that light
yeah im on one knee
gonna shine it bright
shine your light for me
all i need is your light
shining down on me
