May the Light - Longfellow

I heard you crying out to Jesus as you took your fall from grace,

Another question left unanswered absolution paved the way

And may the light that shines on you,

Shine on me so,

We might find a safer place to call our own.

And please, trust my disbelief I’m shaking,

Honey can’t you see I,

Need strength of hope and peace of mind.

A flash of red that breaks the darkness with each awkward cigarette,

There was a time you spoke of romance,

Rings of smoke are all that’s left.

And may the light that shines on you,

Shine on me so,

We might find a safer place to call our own.

And please, trust my disbelief I’m shaking,

Honey can’t you see I,

Need strength of hope and peace of mind.

Give me one place to call my own,

Give me two feet to run,

Give me three reasons why I need this, need this,

Show me four corners of this earth,

Five senses god gave us,

Six excuses why you need this, need this.

Give me one place to call my own,

Give me two feet to run,

Give me three reasons why I need this, need this,

Show me four corners of this earth,

Five senses god gave us,

Six excuses why you need this, need this.

Give me one place to call my own,

Give me two feet to run,

Give me three reasons why I need this, need this,

Show me four corners of this earth,

Five senses god gave us,

Six excuses why you need this, need this.

And may the light that shines on you,

Shine on me so,

We might find a safer place to call our own
