Strawbs - Lay A Little Light On Me/Hero's Theme lyrics

rate me

Watch my hand<br />

See it shakes<br />

Trembling as my life blood bleeds<br />

Comfortless<br />

Superfakes<br />

Offering their empty creeds<br />

That have faith or substance<br />

That change to suit the doubter<br />

To satisfy his needs.<br />

<br />

Rid me of your darkness<br />

Lay a little light on me<br />

Clothe me with your brightness<br />

Lay a little light on me<br />

Oh save me someone<br />

Lay a little light on me<br />

<br />

Growing boys<br />

Masturbate<br />

Drink the wine and take the bread<br />

Saintly priests<br />

Castigate<br />

Holy water for the head<br />

With shades of John the Baptist<br />

Who came intent to rescue<br />

And danced with death instead.<br />

<br />

Bless the good<br />

Curse the bad<br />

Some are wise<br />

Others mad<br />

Phoney profiteers suitably seeming sad<br />

Preparing for the kingdom<br />

Annointing us with wisdom<br />

Convinced that we'll be glad.
