Roger Miller
Waitin’ for the Light to Shine (1985 Original Broadway Cast)
I have lived in the darkness for so long
I'm waitin' for the light to shine
Far beyond horizons I have seen
Beyond things I've been
Beyond the dreams I've dreamed
Are the things I've done
In fact each and every one
Are the way that I was taught to run
I am waitin' for the light to shine
I am waitin' for the light to shine
I have lived in the darkness for so long
I'm waitin' for the light to shine
