When the road is rocky and you've got a heavy load wait for the light to shine
If you find your friendless on that weary lonesome road wait for the light to shine
Wait for the light to shine wait for the light to shine
Pull yourself together and keep looking for the sign wait for the light to shine
Don't forget your brother as you travel through the land wait for the light to shine
He may be in trouble and may need a helping hand wait for the light to shine
Wait for the light to shine wait for the light to shine
Never give up hope or cast your pearls and pour this wine wait for the light to shine
Now if your life is empty and you're on your last go round wait for the light to shine
And if you hear the chime bells on that highway you have found
Wait for the light to shine
Wait for the light to shine wait for the light to shine
Now when your friends forsake you and you haven't got a dime
Wait for the light to shine
Don't let trouble fool you and your sin will all be gone wait for the light to shine
Don't forget his darknest just before the break of dawn wait for the light to shine
Wait for the light to shine oh wait for the light to shine
Keep these words before you as you walk that narrow line wait for the light to shine
Wait for the light to shine oh wait for the light to shine
Just keep these words before you as you walk that narrow line
And wait for the light to shine wait for the light to shine
