when the road is rocky and you re carrying the load wait for the light to shine if you find you re friendless on that weary lonesome road wait for the light to shine wait for the light to shine wait for the light to shine pull yourself together and keep looking for the sign wait for the light to shine don t forget your brother as you travel through this land wait for the light to shine he may be in trouble and may need a helping hand wait for the light to shine wait for the light to shine wait for the light to shine never give up hope or cast your pearls and pour this wine wait for the light to shine don t let trouble fool you and your sin will all be gone wait for the light to shine don t forget his darkness just before the break of dawn wait for the light to shine wait for the light to shine wait for the light to shine keep these words on your mind as you walk out narrow line wait for the light to shine
