The Light

Suddenly the light is shining down on me
At first I was afraid that I'd go blind indeed
But then after a while, I began to smile
Just like a carefree juvenile
After all this time down in the dark

All the world is suddenly so fine for me
The larks up in the air are happy on the wing
Though I really can't say how I got this way
Things were so different yesterday
Ain't it great how life can turn up on a dime?

I used to stand in line
Hoping that in time
The darkness would pass over
Now I know it's not the way
I've got to seize the day
Pick up the fight
No more howling at the moon at night

Suddenly the light is shining down on me
I'm standing in a brilliant luminosity
I may sound kind of touched or completely nuts
But that don't bother me too much
Life is much too short to give in

I used to try to hide
Everything inside
Thinking I was going nowhere
But now I'm feeling self assured
I think I've found a cure
The future looks bright
The only blues are in the sky

So finally the light is shining down on me
And even if old weather man does not agree
I will simply proclaim, what's a little rain?
It comes and goes, so why complain?
And just a little light makes rainbows glow

And finally the light is shining down
On me
The light is shining down on me
On me, ooh
