I saw the light, I saw the light
Now ain't that funny
I saw the light, I saw the light
And man it got me, got me to thinking
The way of the righteous, that's a lie
One more myth to keep you down until you die
You make your bed, you lie in it
Don't everybody?
You make your bed cause in the end
We all need somebody
But there'll come a day
Out of the shadows we will shine
Every man a king in his own right
There'll come a day
Turn our troubles into diamonds
I saw the light, I saw the light
I saw the light

And it ain't no use holding back the truth
Like holding back the ocean with your hands
Oh I saw the light, I saw the light
I saw the light and now I understand

I saw the light, I saw the light
And I tell you something
You gotta fight, you gotta fight
If you do just one thing
Oh we may be no-one
Picking the locks on the doors of power
But brother you and me
We're the mothers of invention
Oh we may be no-one
But we be nimble, we be quick
You and me
We're the birth of imagination
And it ain't no use holding back the truth
Like holding back the ocean with your hands
Oh I saw the light, I saw the light
I saw the light and now I understand

Now I understand
