Lyrics
Oh Lord, Oh Lord
Shine your light on me yaaaaa.
'Cause I'm tired, and I
Just cant seem to sleep, Noooo Lord.
Well I've been such a lonely child,
It seems, like an eternity yaaaa.
And though I never wanted for much
There's still so much I really need, and all...
Well all the things I've done
To others and my self, well...
You know I never meant no harm, but I
Guess that's, how it is, woooo Lord.
Mmmm my Lord. Yaaa Lord.
In my waking hour, as I'm standing here with you
I think I finally realize what might just be the truth
And, If you will forgive me, well, I just want to say
I never knew anyone, who gave a damn for me, wooo Lord
Oh Lord, Oh Lord
Shine a light on me, yaaaaa.
'Cause I'm tired, and I
Just cant seem to sleep, Noooo and
It's been such a long, long time
Since I called your name, but
Oh Lord, wooo my Lord
Shine a light on me________
Shine a light on, Shine a light on me
