I pin my medals to my chest
You put on all your Sunday best
Since Nam wore it all
I'll just head to a costume ball
Megan, don't you cry for me no more
Just hang your hopes from chandeliers
And let them dangle free and clear
Or drink the last champagne
Let not a drop remain
Megan, don't you cry for me
White light
White light is all I see
White light
White light is all I see
White light
White light is all I see
White light
White light is all I see
I'll click my flashlight when I'm lost
Or when I'm torn and tempest tossed
You always could find me then
I know you'll find me again
Megan, don't you cry for me now more
White light
White light is all I see
White light
White light is all I see
White light
White light is all I see
White light
White light is all I see
And I'll bring back a souvenir
From every place I go the coming year
Though it be dark, I shall not fear
For I will always keep your picture near
White light
White light is all I see
White light
White light is all I see
White light
White light is all I see
White light
White light is all I see
White light
White light is all I see
White light
White light is all I see
White light
White light
White light
White light
White light
