Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Lookin' through the clouds, what do you see?
Sky of gases, child in need
Troubles everywhere, more than I can bear
So I'm searching from within
Searching
I'm searching
I'm searching
Well, well, searching
[Chorus]
Help them see the light
The light
[Verse 2]
I'm a blossom in the sun, sunshine of love
Singing loud to the one I love above
Shine on, sun, let your light guide my way
For so long, there's been such darkness, got to be a better way, yeah
Keep me Lord, and help me to grow
So I may reap the fruits of a free and happy soul
[Chorus]
Help them see the light
Help them see the light
Help them see the light
[Verse 3]
Give me strength when temptation calls
Lift me up when life's battles make me fall
Shelter me from the evils and the wrongs
So when You call, dear Lord, I said I'll be strong
Walk with me when the stormy nights are cold
In Your hand lies all control, Lordy
Master, then, hey, when my final song is sung
With Your mercy, I pray that you'll say well done
[Chorus]
Help them see the light
Help them see the light
Help them see the light
Help them see the light
[Outro]
Help them see the light
Help them see the light
Help them see the light
Help them see the light
Help them see the light
Help them see the light
Help them see the light
See the light
