Lights - Styx

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

To night 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 not sit back and relax

Go to the Isalnds 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 the lights

Give me my hope

Give me my energy

You can turn the wrong into right

Precious lights

Illuminate me

Won’t you let me play

Give me the lights
