Lyrics

[Verse 1] 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 [Verse 2] 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 [Chorus] 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 [Verse 3] Lookin' through the open window I can see where I went wrong I quit searching for the rainbow I forgot where I belong [Verse 4] 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 [Chorus] 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 [Bridge] 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 [Chorus] 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 [Chorus] 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 [Outro] Shine a light so I can see Lift up these chains of darkness and set me free
