Lyrics

See the Light Shining (2009 - Remaster)

[Verse 1]

When you're dyin', when you're dyin'

There ain't no use in cryin'

I'm gonna keep on livin' till the light

Shines down on you

Burnin' right in

You can't stop when you're winning

I'm gonna show my hand, make history

[Chorus]

Show me the way

Show me the way

Show me the way

Show me the way

Show me the way

Show me the way

[Verse 2]

I'm dyin', I'm dyin'

There ain't no use in tryin'

I'm gonna keep on livin' till the light's

Shining down on you

Burnin' right in

You can't stop when you're winning

I'm gonna show my hand, make history

[Chorus]

Show me the way

Show me the way

Show me the way

Show me the way

Show me the way

[Chorus]

Show me the way

[Verse 3]

I can see the light shining

It's shining down on me, yeah

I can see the light shining

It shines on you and me, yeah, you and me

[Verse 4]

There's a new day dawning

It's here to set me free, yeah

I can see the changes coming

It's coming over me, yeah, over me

[Outro]

I can see the light shining

I can see the light shining

I can see the light shining

I can see the light shining

Shine on, shine on
