Emma Rae's riding on a north-bound train
|
Spilling all that pain
|
On the plains of Dover
|
Emma Rae's crying from a hot cell phone
|
She said she never felt so alone
|
This time the dream is over
|
|
Surely this is her darkest hour
|
I've even heard her talk about a higher power
|
Deep in her heart comes a tiny voice
|
And it says "hold on momma,
|
'Cause you've got one last choice"
|
|
Bring your dreams down to the river
|
And let the water wash all your dreams away
|
When the night comes, it will deliver
|
Through the darkness, your heart is gonna light the way
|
|
Old man standing on a soap box
|
He's wearing wool socks
|
On the hottest day all year
|
Old man preachin' to the handful
|
With a head full
|
He says "the end is surely near"
|
Now, who among you even cares?
|
They're turnin' circles into squares
|
But deep in his heart comes a tired voice
|
And it says "hold on daddy,
|
You've got one last choice"
|
|
Bring your dreams down to the river
|
And let the water wash all your dreams away
|
When the night comes, it will deliver
|
Through the darkness, your heart is gonna light the way
|
Light the way, light the way
|
Through the darkness, your heart is gonna light the way
|
|
Light the way, oh light the way
|
Through the darkness, your heart is gonna light the way
|

Light the Way
