The Shining Light

Text und Musik: Michael M. Jung

And they brought me to the waterfalls

and they broke my bones again

and they raped my love and burned my house

and they blew my world away

But they didn’t see the shining light

behind my broken eyes

and they didn’t see the fire inside

that kept me still alive

And I know one day I will find a way

to get my pride again

and I know one day I will find a way

to get my pride again

And I saw the boy in the dirty town

and the other boys kicked his ass

and I saw his dad working on the docks

and I saw the day he died

But I also saw a shining light

behind his broken eyes

and I know there is a fire inside

that keeps him still alive

And I know one day he will find a way

to get his pride again

and I know one day he will find a way

to get his pride again

And I see that girl working on the street

giving her body away

and night for night she dies again

but she never never tried to pray

But I also see that shining light

behind her nut-brown eyes

and I know there is a fire inside

that keeps her still alive

And I know one day she will find a way

to get her pride again

and I know one day she will find a way

to get her pride again
