Lyrics

[Verse 1]
In my hour of need
On a sea of gray
On my knees I pray to you
Help me find the dawn
Of the dying day
[Verse 2]
Won't you light my way
Won't you light my way
Won't you light my way
Won't you light my way
[Verse 3]
A bullet is a man
From time to time he strays
I compare my life to this
To this I relate
And I'm willing to listen to your answers
And I'm not afraid
To tell you I need you today
[Verse 4]
Won't you light my way
Won't you light my way
Won't you light my way
Won't you light my way
[Verse 5]
So when I'm lost
Or I'm tired and depraved
Or when my high bullet mind goes astray
Won't you light my way
[Verse 6]
Don't save it for another day
Don't save it for another day
[Verse 7]
Don't save it for another day
Don't save it for another day
Don't save it for another day
Don't save it for another day
[Verse 8]
Won't you light my way
Won't you light my way
Won't you light my way
Won't you light my way
Won't you light my way
