The Bacon Brothers - Light the Way lyrics

Written by Kevin Bacon "It's about having the strength to re-define your life's work. A follow-up to 'Guess Again.'" KB Emma Rae's riding on a north-bound train Spilling all that pain On the plains of Dover Emma Rae's crying from a hot cell phone She said she never felt so alone This time the dream is over Surely this is her darkest hour I've even heard her talk about a higher power Deep in her heart comes a tiny voice And it says "hold on momma, 'Cause you've got one last choice" Bring your dreams down to the river And let the water wash all your dreams away When the night comes, it will deliver Through the darkness, your heart is gonna light the way Old man standing on a soap box He's wearing wool socks On the hottest day all year Old man preachin' to the handful With a head full He says "the end is surely near" Now, who among you even cares? They're turnin' circles into squares But deep in his heart comes a tired voice And it says "hold on daddy, You've got one last choice" Bring your dreams down to the river And let the water wash all your dreams away When the night comes, it will deliver Through the darkness, your heart is gonna light the way Light the way, light the way Through the darkness, your heart is gonna light the way Light the way, oh light the way Through the darkness, your heart is gonna light the way
