No matter how dark the storm gets overhead They say someone's watching from the calm at the edge What about us when we're down here in it? We gotta watch our own backs But if you do see that golden light That it shines in its fiery eye Go on and catch it while you can Go on and catch it if you can Let it course through you And let it burn through you If it's the light of truth If it's the light of truth If they think you got it, they're going to beat it out of you Through work and debt, whatever all else there is You got to watch your own back Try to see the light of goodness burning down the track Through the blinding rain, through the swaying wires If I see you struggle I will not turn my back I've seen a good man and a bad man Down the same path I've seen the light of truth keeping out of it a Told them to watch their own backs If I see you struggle and givin' all that you got I see you work all night, burning your light To the last of its dim watts I'm gonna help you how I can If you see me struggle all night Give me a hand 'cause I'm in need I'll call you friend, indeed But I'm gonna watch my own back Didn't it rain?
