When the road is rocky and you're carrying the load Wait for the light to shine If you find your friendless on that weary lonesome road Wait for the light to shine Wait for the light to shine shine shine wait for the light to shine Pull yourself together keep on looking for the sign Wait for the light to shine [ accordion ] Don't forget your brother as you travel through the land Wait for the light to shine He may be in trouble and may need a helping hand Wait for the light to shine Wait for the light to shine shine shine wait for the light to shine Never give up hope or cast your pearls and pour this wine Wait for the light to shine [ fiddle ] Don't let trouble fool you and your sin will all be gone Wait for the light to shine Don't forget his darknest just before the break of dawn Wait for the light to shine Wait for the light to shine shine shine wait for the light to shine Keep these words before you as you walk out narrow line Wait for the light to shine
