They said we don?take your kind no we don?want no guys like you I lied my way until December hoping Christmas would pull me through And then I hung around thinking religion would take its toll The lord threw no signs that day it seemed that no one would take me at all Then I saw the light on the stage CHORUS And I said sing with me oh sing with me Sing with me all night long Then hold me close until the morning sun comes searching for the dawn I hitched my way back to Houston where I knew that I?find a home My mother claimed no vacancy in this new house that I?never known I found myself a stray all alone caught up in the midst of my pain In the howling winds of the night I swore someone was calling my name I turned only to see the light on the stage CHORUS I took my last dollar made some change and I called a friend He said that?no problem pal you know we?love to take you in So he helped me through my trials with some peace from the lord above Next thing I know I?on the stage doing everything that I?dreamed of Now it seems that I am the light on the stage Now it seems that we are the lights on the stage CHORUS 2X
