When the road is rocky
And you're carrying a load
Wait for the light to shine
If you find your friendless
On that weary lonesome road
Wait for the light to shine
Wait for the light to shine, shine, shine
Wait for the light to shine
Pull yourself together
Keep on looking for the sign
Wait for the light to shine
Don't forget your brother
As you travel through the land
Wait for the light to shine
He may be in trouble
And may need a helping hand
Wait for the light to shine
Wait for the light to shine, shine, shine
Wait for the light to shine
Never give up hope
Or cast your pearls before the swine
Wait for the light to shine
Don't let trouble fool you
And your sin will all be gone
Wait for the light to shine
Don't forget it's darkest
Just before the break of dawn
Wait for the light to shine
Wait for the light to shine, shine, shine
Wait for the light to shine
Keep these words before you
As you walk the narrow line
Wait for the light to shine
