You'll bare your bones
you'll grow you'll pray you'll only know
When the light appears, boy
when the light appears
You'll sing & you'll love
you'll praise blue heavens above
When the light appears, boy
when the light appears
You'll whimper & you'll cry
you'll get yourself sick and sigh
You'll sleep & you'll dream
you'll only know what you mean
When the light appears, boy
when the light appears
You'll come & you'll go
you'll wander to and fro
You'll go home in despair
you'll wonder why'd you care
You'll stammer & you'll lie
you'll ask everybody why
You'll cough and you'll pout
you'll kick your toe with gout
You'll jump you'll shout
you'll knock you're friends about
You'll bawl and you'll deny & announce
your eyes are dry
You'll roll and you'll rock you'll show
your big hard cock
You'll love and you'll grieve & one day
you'll come believe
As you whistle & you smile
the lord made you worthwhile
You'll preach and you'll glide
on the pulpit in your pride
Sneak & slide across the stage
like a river in high tide
You'll come fast or come on slow just the same
you'll never know
When the light appears, boy
when the light appears
