Lights

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
