Reach out your hand to me
I'll give my hand to you
People get together
And let's make something new
It ain't been easy, no
This hell we've been through
Waiting for the light
To come shining through
Waiting for the light
To come shining through
On me and you
Now love is everywhere
But we can't always see
Living in the darkness
In all our misery
But a change is near
And we can all be free
Waiting for the light
To come shining through
Waiting for the light
To come shining through
On me and you
Who holds the key
To let us out of this cage
Who holds the blade
To take the edge off this rage
Waiting for the light
To come shine on through
