One morning I was walking 'long
And I heard a voice and I saw no one

I saw the light, I saw the light comin' in the

[Verse 2]
I saw the light that a gambler don't see
When I saw the light it was shining on me

[Chorus]
I saw the light, I saw the light
I saw the light, I saw the light

[Verse 3]
Don't you wish your mother could rise and tell
When you're standin' at the gates of hell

I saw the light, I saw the light mama
I saw the light, I saw the light

[Verse 4]
If ya hada been there when I came through
If ya hada gods vision of midnight dew

I saw the light, I saw the light

[Verse 5]

I saw the light, I saw the light

I looked in the east and I looked in the west
The fire gonna burn up the wilderness

[Chorus]
I saw the light, I saw the light mama
I saw the light, I saw the light coming in the
