Lyrics:

And if you feel that you can't go on
And your will's sinkin' low
Just believe and you can't go wrong
In the light you will find the road, you will find the road

Hey, ooh, did you ever believe that I could leave you standin' out in the cold
Hey-yeah, baby, I know how it feels 'cause I have slipped through to the very depths of my soul, yeah
Oh-whoa, baby, I just wanna show you what a clear view there is from every bend in the road
Now, listen to me
Oh, whoa-whoa, as I was, believe it will be for you too, honey
As you would for me, aw, I will share your load
Let me share your load, ooh, let me share, share your load

And if you feel that you can't go on
In the light you will find the road

Hey, oh, the winds of change may blow 'round you, but that will always be so
Oh, whoa-whoa, whoa-whoa, when love is pain, it can devour you, if you are never alone

I will share your load
I will share your load, baby, let me, oh, let me

In the light
Everybody needs a light, woo-ooh, yeah-yeah
Ooh, baby, everybody, everybody, everybody
Sure 'nuff they do

Light, light, light, in the light
Light, light, light, in the light, ooh, yeah
Light, light, light, in the light

Light, light, light, in the light
Light, light, light, in the light, woo, yeah-yeah
Light, light, light, in the light
Everybody come on, now

Influences: I've been alerted to rumors that the bagpipe-sounding intro to In The Light may have some relation to an old folk song of some sort, but I have no more information regarding that.
