Jars Of Clay lyrics - Light Gives Heat

album: Good Monsters (2006)
genre:

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
