They said we donât take your kind no we donât want no guys like you I lied my way until December hoping Christmas would pull me through And 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
And I said sing with me oh sing with me Sing with me all night long Then hold me close until the morning sun comes searching for the dawn
I hitched my way back to Houston where I knew that Iâd find a home My mother claimed no vacancy in this new house that Iâd never known I found myself a stray 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 took my last dollar made some change and I called a friend He said thatâs no problem pal you know weâd love to take you in So he helped me through my trials with some peace from the lord above Next thing I know Iâm on the stage doing everything that Iâd dreamed of Now it seems that I am the light on the stage Now it seems that we are the lights on the stage
