Johnny Clegg - Shine a light

Shine a light, shine a light

Oh you've got to careful in this world a little sister said to me
Beware of the silver tongue which hides a gun and a tyranny
It will speak in words of water
It will drown you in its lies
You must be like the fish in the river
Ad learn to swim against the tide

CHORUS:
Some of de man give light in de darkness
Some of de man he give a cry
Some of de man he gonna live through the season Some of de man he gonna die
Yo yo mam ye!

The wheel turn around
Give me no rest
She want to hear me cry
In the darkness
- Shine a light!
I drop to the ground
And hope for the best
I'm going through the eye
Of the hurricane
- Shine a light!
