The Light Lyrics


The light within me shineth, the life within me flows
I’ll sing a song of the kingdom and hope the spirit grows
There was a man from midnight who lived while on the road
A light was his possession it was a heavy load
He wrapped it all in color but left the binding free
For those who felt the hunger and truly longed to see
The rumor soon did travel, the winds they did not fail
And all across the country, the brightness did prevail
The people they did gather their thankfulness to bring
But for the silent witness who did not see a thing
Come all you sons and daughters who make the road your life
Who try and live the freedom to rise above this strife
Oh, find the way in wisdom the truth that does not lie
The change is many colors in the beholder’s eye

The light within me shineth, and the life within me flows
I’ll sing a song of the kingdom and hope the spirit grows
I’ll sing a song of the kingdom

Brewer & Shipley were a folk rock duo of the late 1960s through 1970s, consisting of singer-songwriters Mike Brewer and Tom Shipley. They were known for their intricate guitar work, vocal harmonies and socially conscious lyrics, which reflected the concerns of their generation -- especially the Vietnam War, and the struggles for personal and political freedom. Their biggest hit was the song "One Toke Over The Line" from their 1970 album Tarkio. They also had two other singles which made the Billboard charts: "Tarkio Road" (1970) and "Shake Off The Demon" (1971).
