Lights

I heard the knock on my door
 I heard the ring of the bell
 I got the letter but I couldn't go
 So many thoughts in my head
 So many places to be
 So many faces that I long to see
 Standing in front of me tonight
 The lights will take me where I long to be
 Just like a thousand nights before
 Somebody said to me
 Why do you do this to you
 Why sit back and relax
 Go to the islands and forget it all
 Slow down, you're moving too fast
 You seem afraid it won't last
 Take my advice, go straight and settle down
 Thank you for caring, but tonight the lights will take me where I long to be
 Just like a thousand nights before
 I can't explain, it gives me something
 Give me the lights, precious lights
 Give me lights
 Give me my hope, give me my energy
 You can turn the wrong into right
 Precious lights
 illuminate me, carry me away
 Carry me, carry me
