Lights

I heard the knock on my door

I heard the ring of the bell

I got the letter but I couldn't go

So many thoughts in my head

So many places to be

So many faces that I long to see

Standing in front of me tonight

The lights will take me where I long to be

Just like a thousand nights before

Somebody said to me

Why do you do this to you

Why sit back and relax

Go to the islands and forget it all

Slow down, you're moving too fast

You seem afraid it won't last

Take my advice, go straight and settle down

Thank you for caring, but tonight the lights will take me where I long to be

Just like a thousand nights before

I can't explain, it gives me something

Give me the lights, precious lights

Give me lights

Give me my hope, give me my energy

You can turn the wrong into right

Precious lights

illuminate me, carry me away

Carry me, carry me
