Child of Light Songtext
von Gary Wright

You came out from nowhere
Like the first star at night
And the world went on like it never saw you come
Your mother felt something
And your father wasn′t there
But she raised you best she could for a poor man's son
Shame she never realized
The light in your eyes

You′re a child of light
Being born into a world that lives in darkness
You're a child of light
And you wear the thorn being born a man


As you grow old and wiser
You keep more to yourself
And when you are aware your body glows
People look to you
As you're walking through the night
They′re hoping you might be the Holy Ghost
Will they ever understand
The light in your eyes

You′re a child of light
Being born into a world that lives in darkness
You're a child of light
And you wear the thorn being born a man
Will they ever understand
The light in your eyes

You′re a child of light
Being born into a world that lives in darkness
You're a child of light
And you wear the thorn being born a man

Child of light
Child of light
Can′t you see
Child of light
That the world needs you tonight
