Flicker

Have I become a target that some people can't resist?
My flaws have become a greater risk
If my name is a synonym of love and happiness
Then why am I bombarded with distress?

My old friends, haven't seen them since I don't know when
But I can send them a signed 8 by 10
My sweetheart, she understands why I'm away
But still it gets harder every day

But it's my delight, to sing all night
'Till the sun comes up again and again

After all, my cross isn't hard to bear
It's heavy, I am weak, but you are there
There are times when I'm down and feel undone
You pursue me like I am your only son
My old flaws you've overlooked and put to rest
They're farther than the East is from the West

But it's my delight, to sing all night
'Till the sun comes up again and again
Yes it's my delight
To share a flicker of your light
Just a ray of hope to a friend, amen

I've spent about 24 hours in a Flying J truck stop
I haven't had a shower and 'bout to drop
It really doesn't matter if we make it all up

'Cause it's my delight, to sing all night
'Till the sun comes up again and again and again and again
Yes it's my delight
To share a flicker of your light
Just a ray of hope to a friend, the end
