I feel the pain of everyone
Who never gets to see the sun
Whose cries for help have gone unheard
And hope becomes an empty word
I feel the sorrow every day
'Cause innocence has passed away
When someone said "I have a dream"
Now money talks and money sings

But I love the light
I love the light
Ain't it time we learn to shine and
Cast out the night?
I love the light
I love the light

I hate the way the powerful
Profit from the vulnerable
They rule the world with sticks and stones
And build their mansions out of bones
I want to cry each time I hear
Another species disappears
I want to scream, I want to shout
It feels like time is running out

But I love the light
I love the light
Ain't it time we learn to shine and
Cast out the night?
I love the light
I love the light
'Cause I love the light
I love the light
Ain't it time we learn to shine and
Cast out the night?
I love the light
I love the light

'Cause I love the light
