Lyrics
When the road is rocky and you’re carrying a 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 its 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
