There's a light on the plain Shine so bright On the way Through the troubles And the days Just beyond lies A better place If you're bruised and beaten down Too weak to lift your feet from the ground If you're caught on the wrong side of town And you can't find your way back out Woe and worry never last Like a hurricane hard rain will pass The whipping wind will lay right down and die Bitter teardrops will run dry 'Cause there's a light on the plain Shine so bright On the way Through the troubles And the days Just beyond lies A better place There's a light on the plain Shine so bright On the way Through the troubles And the days Just beyond lies A better place The night's cruel song Turns good men wrong I went astray I'll find my way If you're lost take my hand If you're hated I will be your only friend If you tremble when the darkness stains the sky Do not worry do not cry 'Cause there's a light on the plain Shine so bright On the way Through the troubles Through the days Just beyond lies A better place There's a light I can see it shining on through the night I'm gone get there one day I'm gonna find me a better place I'm gonna get there one day
