When the road is rocky
And you're carrying the load
Wait for the light to shine
If you find you're friendless
On that weary lonesome road
Wait for the light to shine
Wait for the light to shine
Wait for the light to shine
Pull yourself together
And keep looking for the sign
Wait for the light to shine
Don't forget your brother
As you travel through this land
Wait for the light to shine
He may be in trouble
And may need a helping hand
Wait for the light to shine
Wait for the light to shine
Wait for the light to shine
Never give up hope
Or cast your pearls and pour this wine
Wait for the light to shine
If your life is empty
And you're on your last go round
Wait for the light to shine
If you hear the chime bells
On the highway you have found
Wait for the light to shine
Wait for the light to shine
Wait for the light to shine
When your friends forsake you
And you haven't got a dime
Wait for the light to shine
Don't let trouble fool you
And your sin will all be gone
Wait for the light to shine
Don't forget his darkness
Just before the break of dawn
Wait for the light to shine
Wait for the light to shine
Wait for the light to shine
Keep these words before you
As you walk this narrow line
Wait for the light to shine
