Light of the World by Barry McGuire Lyrics

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...
