They said we don’t take your kind No we don’t want no guys, like you I lied my way until December Hoping Christmas would pull me through
Then I hung around Thinking religion would take its toll The Lord threw no signs that day It seemed that no one would take me at all Then I saw the light on the stage
Chorus: I said sing with me Oh sing with me Sing all night long Then hold me close ‘Till the morning sun Comes searching for the dawn
I hitched my way back to Houston Where I knew that I’d find a home Mother claimed no vacancy In this new house that I’d never known
I found myself astray all alone Caught up in the midst of my pain In the howling winds of the night I swore someone was calling my name I turned only to see the light on the stage
Chorus: I said sing with me Oh sing with me Sing all night long Then hold me close ‘Till the morning sun Comes searching for the dawn
I took my last dollar Made some change and I called a friend He said that’s no problem pal You know we’d love to take you in
So he helped me through my trials With some peace from the Lord above Next thing I know I’m on the stage Doing everything that I’ve dreamed of Now it seems that I am the light on the stage Oh yeah Now it seems we are the lights on the stage
Chorus: I said sing with me Oh sing with me Sing all night long Then hold me close ‘Till the morning sun Comes searching for the dawn
