Lyrics
Intro
When the heat of the city..show no mercy, no pity, gets you down.
And the faces that you meet turn away in retreat, all around.
When the sun refuse to shine and darkness seize the night.
Starr Light will shine.
Lead
When the wind and the rain..show no mercy, only pain, all the time.
When the tempest and the storm leave you tattered and torn, wonder why? wonder why?
When the music and the tune and the lyrics, only blues.
Starr Light will shine.
Lead
When your searching for a friend. Seeking shelter from the wind, she arrives.
When your lost, can't be found. She will save you from the crowd, just in time.
When the darkness of the night keeps you searching for the light.
Starr Light will shine.
