Gary Wright Child Of Light Lyrics

Child Of Light Lyrics

You came out from nowhere like the first star at night

And the world went on like it never saw you come

Your mother felt something and your father wasn't there

But she raised you best she could for a poor man's son



Shame, she never realized the light in your eyes

You're a child of light

You were born into a world that lives in darkness

You're a child of light

And you wear the thorn, anymore than man



As you grow old and wiser, you keep more to yourself

And when you are aware, your body glows

Keep a look to here, as you're walking through the night

They're hoping you might be the Holy Ghost



Do they ever understand the light in your eyes?

You're a child of light

You were born into a world that lives in darkness

You're a child of light

And you wear the thorn, anymore than man



Will they ever understand the light in your eyes?

You're a child of light

Being born into a world that lives in darkness

You're a child of light

And you wear the thorn, anymore than man

A child of light, child of light



Can't you see, child of light

That the world needs you tonight?
