I am a song I been here all along I'll be here when the hatred's gone Hey can you recognize me I am the light of the sun And if you come with me And if you let it be (on my way back home) And sing my melody Then it don't have to wash away In a memphis city rain For the world a long time awaiting For the hatred now to be fading For the love to give I am a song But i'm not the one They use to march their guns And every child knows me I am the light of the son
