Light Gives Heat lyrics
by Jars Of Clay





Catch the rain empty hands

Save the children from their lands

Wash the darkness from their skin

Heroes from the west

We don't know you, we know best

This is not a test



You treat me like I'm blind

Setting fires around houses on the hill

But light gives heat

You segregate my mind

Burning crosses from your fears

The light gives heat



It's not the way to light their way

Boys in holes in empty fields

Oh, how good it feels

Lower-class, and understate

Empty promise, empty plate



You treat me like I'm blind

Setting fires around houses on the hill

Light gives heat

You segregate my mind

Burning crosses from your fears, your fears

But light gives heat, gives heat



You treat me like I'm blind

Setting fires around houses on the hill

Light gives heat

You segregate my mind

Burning crosses from your fears

But light gives heat



Will you teach us how to love?

To see the things you see

Walk the road you walked

Feel the pain that you feel

At your feet I kneel,

I want to see you shine

See your light not mine

'Cause light gives heat

Your light gives heat
