Barry McGuire — Light of the World

Hold your head up, Mary, it's a dusty road And you know that the wind's blowin' wild But there's a Light in the darkness And there's not far to go And the mornin' will bring us a child And the sky's gonna open for Him Yes, and all, all of nature will sing Singin'... You are the Light The Light of the world You are the Light The Light of the world Yes, and we'll watch Him growin' With love in our eyes And also a color of cryin' Ah, yes, we know, Mary, one day He'll be sayin' goodbye To take Life to a world that is dyin' Yeah, but on, on the shores of a sea Are the words of a Savior to be You are thе Light The Light of the world You are thе Light The Light of the world So the change comes quickly Time's flyin' fast People in power turn betrayers Ah, the cruel and the evil livin' side by side While the gentle and lovin' they murder But for all where the cross has once stood Are these words carved on the wood Sayin'... You are the Light The Light of the world You are the Light The Light of the world You are the Light Yeah, the Light of the world Singin', You are the Light Yeah, the Light of the world...
