The Thief And The Friend

Many men are brave

And many men are strong

But few men have I ever seen

Who fights for who's right

And then fight for who's wrong

Fight for the friend and the thief

I've heard of you

You've got so many names

But you call yourself Son of man

And I've heard your song

On the streets where I live

I've heard it over and over again

Light a candle tonight

Let it shine let it shine

Let it shine for the goodness and glory of God

Let it on the wrong

Let it shine on the right

And shine especially bright for the losers

For I have given them hope and a future

Castles in the sky they young men

And old men build ladders

That reach up to them

Nobody's right and nobody's wrong

We're all just building a place to belong

Broken angels who can't find their wings

Wondering if they'll fly again

For orphans who've lost everything

I hear your song over them

The sun lights the moon

And the moon lights the night

While the earth spins around once again

And it shines on the wrong

And it shines on the right

It shines on the thief and the friend

Many men are brave

And many men are strong

But candle tricks burn out gain

Light a candle tonight

Let it shine let it shine

Let it shine for the goodness and glory of God

Let it on the wrong

Let it shine on the right

And shine especially bright for the losers

For I have given them hope and a future

Let your light Let your light

Let your light shine

Shine for the goodness and glory

Let it shine let it shine

Let your light shine

Shine for the goodness of God

Let it shine let it shine

Let your light shine

Shine for the glory of God
