[Instrumental Intro 00:00-01:45]
[Verse 1]
And if you feel that you can't go on
And your will's sinking low
Just believe, and you can't go wrong

You will find the road
[Verse 2]

I will share your load, I will share your load
Baby, let me, oh, let me

Ooh, baby
Everybody, everybody, everybody
Sure enough they do
[Outro]
Light, light, light, in the light
Light, light, light, in the light, ooh, yeah
Light, light, light, in the light
Light, light, light, in the light
Light, light, light, in the light, ooh yeah yeah
Light, light, light, in the light, everybody, come on now
