I'm only human, I'm just a man It don't make no difference who I am I've climbed some mountains, and I've tumbled down I've been a king, I've been a clown Chorus So heaven leave the light on It's dark and I can't see So heaven leave the light on Burn like a fire for me And I won't have no problem askin' please Heaven leave the light on for me Well, I've heard of mansions, and streets paved in gold Yeah I know that's where I want to go But how do you get there Yes, I've heard 'em say that if you have to ask then you don't know your way (chorus) If I see the river, I'm not afraid to die Cuz I know I'll find the other side So heaven leave the light on It's dark and I can't see So heaven leave the light on Burn like a fire for me And I won't have no problem askin' please (chorus)
