There’s a light that shines on all people
Sees them through
It waits and watches them move
Through their lives like people do
There’s only so much we can be sure of
We can see
The rest belongs to time
And things that are meant to be
When the clouds surround you
And you know you’ve found your rainy day
Oh, the blues are bound to make you feel
Just like they’re here to stay

All through your life
Anything that’s meant to be will be
When tomorrow comes
Once again, you’ll see

That there’s a light that shines on all people
Sees them through
It waits and watches them move
Through their lives like people do

When the clouds surround you
And you know you’ve found your rainy day
Oh, the blues are bound to make you feel
Jut like they’re here to stay

Oh, you should know
There ain’t much a broken heart can see
When tomorrow hides
The dream beyond this dream

Oh, there’s a light that shines on all people
Sees them through
It waits and watches them move
Through their lives like people do
