lyrics
through derision, indecision
the dreariness is past
canned and toasted, we had boasted
before the die was cast
'fools rush in', where to begin?
the thrill is all but gone
in droning voices, stale and sterile
the conversation stalled
still I dwell on hopes that I have had before
still I tell myself that life's worth fighting for
supporting reeking hypocrites
not so much has changed
the writing on the wall reads clearly,
but they would think it strange
bliss seems brief, long is grief
to bridge them we don't dare
weariness an understatement
it's something we can share
as the years roll on the thirst will ever grow
though the water's gone, they'll never let it show
ooooh lighting my way, lighting my way again
with the roles reversed, the blessed cursed
will the crux be there?
or a mass of outrage, a flux of temper
rule the very air?
all she needs is to hold the mirror
clean the dross and grime
I'll somehow get a fire going
and let the lantern shine.
still we carry on, content to stare
at what's to come, a lighter weight to bear
till we recognise, the higher road we seek
there in mutual beauty, we will share our streak
oooh lighten my way, lighten my way again
oooh lighten our way, lighten our way
