Lyrics

SURE IS FUNNY SOMETIMES HOW A THING TURNS BAD
HOW YOU COME UP MISSING WHAT YOU THOUGHT YOU HAD
EVERY TIME I THINK THAT I MIGHT HAVE IT MADE
SOMETHING COMES ALONG TO PUT ME IN THE SHADE
SOMEDAY, THAT LIGHT WILL SHINE ON ME

TRY TO KEEP IT SIMPLE, TRY TO KEEP IT STRAIGHT
KEEP THINGS ROLLING FORWARD UNDER SHIFTING WEIGHT
IF I GUN THE ENGINE, I MIGHT MISS THE CURVE
IT AIN’T UP TO ME TO SAY WHAT I DESERVE
SOMEDAY, THAT LIGHT WILL SHINE ON ME

DAYLIGHT TURNS TO DARKNESS, DIAMONDS TURN TO DUST
IS IT FACT OR FICTION? IS IT LOVE OR LUST?
I’M ASKING QUESTIONS, BUT I GET NOWHERE
I’M STUCK IN NEUTRAL WITH NO TIME TO SPARE
SOMEDAY, THAT LIGHT WILL SHINE ON ME

JUST KEEP A-GRINDING, KICK OUT ALL THE JAMS
AIN’T NOTHING EASY THAT IS WORTH A DAMN
MY DAY IS COMING IN A COSMIC FLASH
ALL THAT IS PROMISED SOON WILL COME TO PASS
SOMEDAY, THAT LIGHT WILL SHINE ON ME
