I woke up this mornin'
With some real bad news
Oh, shed a little light on me
Timing's awful
And so is the truth
I guess I'm outta time to dream
Oh, there ain't no changin'
Ain't goin' back in time
Can't you hold the light for me?

Hold a little light on...
Oh, that's how it is
Hold a little light on me
We only live, we only live to die
Hold a little light on...
Oh, and the timing's never right
Hold a little light on me

Each day is precious
And now I know
Shed a little light on me
Oh, I need forgiveness
So I can go, yeah
Can you hold a light for me?
Shed a little light on...
Hold a little light on...
Oh, that's how it is
Hold a little light on mе
We only live, we only livе to die
Hold a little light on...
Oh, and the timing's never right
Hold a little light on me

As I walk through the valley of shadow and death
I will fear no evil for you or in me
Your love, your strength comforts me

Hold a little light on...
That's how it is
Hold a little light on me
We only live, we only live to die
Hold a little light on...
Oh, and the timing's never right
Hold a little light on me
