Turn on your light let me know what you're knowing,
light up the road let me see where I'm going,
share out some wisdom to a river that's flowing,
Oh! I need some help there'e a hurricane blowing
and if I spoil my home would you be disenchanted
see me try all the while, see me fall,
with the eyes of a child seems we know almost nothing,
how can we see? How can we see?
Turn on your light, turn on, turn on your light.
When I came here and I started it was easy for me
I had these folks all around me saying what I should be
now they've gone and I'm not sure I believe what they said
most especially cause I've got other thoughts in my head,
Still I look and I think this could be a brilliant place
we could sweep it and clean it, put a smile on it's face,
but I must say I'm not sure how or where to begin,
there's so many people round here just a doing it in,
so I'm asking, I'm begging, see the word on my lip,
put some light on the subject then we'll all get a grip.
see me try all the while see me fall,
with the eyes of a child seems we know almost nothing,
How can we see? How can we see
turn on, turn on your light.
Just say the word cause I'm sure it's been missing.
Tie up my heart with a love that's fulfilling,
thought I could leave but it's a game that I'm still in,
I need some help I need somebody who's willing
and if I spoil my home would you be disenchanted,
see me try all the while see me fall
with the eyes of a child seems we know almost nothing,
how can we see? How can we see,
Turn on your light, turn on, turn on, your light.
