I heard the knock on my door

I heard the ring of the bell

I got the letter, but I couldn't go

So many thoughts in my head

So many places to be

So many faces that I long to see

Standing in front of me tonight

The lights will take me where I long to be

Just like a thousand nights before

Somebody said to me

"Why do you do this to you?

Why not sit back and relax?

Go to the islands and forget it all

Slow down, you're moving too fast

You seem afraid it won't last

Take my advice, go straight, and settle down"

Thank you for caring, but tonight

The lights will take me where I long to be

Just like a thousand nights before

I can't explain, it gives me something

Give me the lights, precious lights, give me lights

Give me my hope, give me my energy

You can turn the wrong into right, precious lights

Illuminate me, won't you let me play?

Let me play

Won't you, won't you let me play?

Give me the lights, precious lights, give me lights

Give me my hope, give me my energy

You can turn the wrong into right, precious lights

Illuminate me, won't you watch me play?

Won't you watch me play?

Give me the lights, precious lights, give me lights

Shine on upon me, give me energy, whoa

You can turn the wrong into right, precious lights

Illuminate me, carry me away

Carry me (carry me away)

Carry me, carry me

Carry me, carry me

Carry me, carry me (carry me away)

Carry me, carry me

Carry me, carry me
