The Proclaimers - The Light lyrics

rate me

You make it sound easy

You say just hold your hand out don't you

You just hold your hand out don't you

That hope never leaves you

'Cos a light shines on that helps you to steer

Makes everything clear

(Well it might)

Well it might in your world

(but it doesn't)

But it doesn't in mine

(I've been stumbling)

I've been stumbling in the dark for years

And the light just made me blind

You say it lights every pathway

Shows me how to live life

For the rest of my days

For the rest of my days

(But I can't)

But I can't put my faith in

(Your words)

Your words and demands

(I believe)

I believe in God alright

It's folk like you I just can't stand

You don't have to try and scare me

To reinforce my faith sir

'Cos I know that one day

I'll stand before my maker

(And it I'm found)

And if I'm found wanting

(When my case)

When my case is heard

(It'll be)

It'll be by the author

Not some interpreter of his words

You make it sound easy

You say just hold your hand out don't you

You just hold your hand out don't you

That hope never leaves you

'Cos a light shines on that helps you to steer

Makes everything clear

(Well it might)

Well it might in your world

(but it doesn't)

But it doesn't in mine

(I've been stumbling)

I've been stumbling in the dark for years

And the light just made me blind

Yeah the light just made me blind
