A different light
Did you ever wake up
And the sun wasn't shinin' on you?
Walkin' around wondering why the sky's
A darker shade of blue
Ever pass a broken man on the street
And wonder did he choose?
Sleeping in the shadow of his dreams
Under yesterdays news
B'all gods children need a helping hand
But you gotta see before you understand
In a different light
A ray of hope for all those desperate lives tonight
Love realigns
In a different light
Open up the heart and see
That everybody shines
Ever prayed before you'd sleep
That when you'd wake up you'd be
Someone new?
Well, there's a fine line between fantasy
And what comes true
Like that girl down on the corner
Sells her soul to buy her babies... Food
Never dreamed she'd be this down 'n out
S'ugly, and barely getting (bedding?) through
B'all gods children need a place to land
Just because you fall don't mean you could't stand
In a different light
A ray of hope for all those desperate lives tonight
Love realigns
In a different light
Open up the heart and see
That everybody shines
And we all want
Yeah, we all need
And what I hurt
Yeah, we all bleed
In a different light
A ray of hope for all those desperate lives tonight
Love realigns
In a different light
Open up the heart and see
That everybody shines
In a different light
In a different light
Love realignes
In a different light
Love realignes
Everybody shines
In a different light
Love realignes...
