Gary Wright - Child Of Light lyrics

You came out from nowhere like the first star at night And the world went on like it never saw you come Your mother felt something and your father wasn't there But she raised you best she could for a poor man's son Shame, she never realized the light in your eyes You're a child of light You were born into a world that lives in darkness You're a child of light And you wear the thorn, anymore than man As you grow old and wiser, you keep more to yourself And when you are aware, your body glows Keep a look to here, as you're walking through the night They're hoping you might be the Holy Ghost Do they ever understand the light in your eyes? You're a child of light You were born into a world that lives in darkness You're a child of light And you wear the thorn, anymore than man Will they ever understand the light in your eyes? You're a child of light Being born into a world that lives in darkness You're a child of light And you wear the thorn, anymore than man A child of light, child of light Can't you see, child of light That the world needs you tonight?
