Stay in the Light - Uli Jon Roth

When the guns fall silent

And the birds of war have flown

When the sounds of death and violence

Are no more — take me home…

When my heart is pining

For the choice of yesterday

And your love alone is shining

Let me stay, let me stay…

Stay in the Light

Of the one who was there before the night

Stay in the light

Of the one who was there to bind the might

Of the one who was

To conquer the night all alone

Alone…

What can I rely on?

There’s an empty cup of hope

And a bed of nails to lie on

Cannot cope — I can’t cope…

When my ship is sinking

And my eyes are going blind

When this bitter cup I’m drinking

Never mind — never mind…

When my soul is crying

For the lives long lost in time

When my only hope is dying

Give me time — give me time…

Stay in the light

Of the one who was there before the night

Stay in the light

Of the one who is there to give sight

Of the one who is there to conquer the night all alone — alone

All alone — we’re all alone

Gotta turn back home tonight to Chris alone

The truth be known — May Your Kingdom come!
