James Ingram Lyrics
"stand"

In a time when the words of the truth are not spoken
There's a war...There is hatred tearing us apart
And the sea reaches high to horizons now broken
And the world is so weary and fighting and lost
You must GO...Go on and

STAND IN THE LIGHT
You will hear your soul singing
STAND IN THE LIGHT
Close your eyes and you'll see all that goodness can be

It's LOVE real LOVE
It doesn't matter what they say
The sun rise again today
You must hurry and stand

In a time when the seasons of life are so shaken
And the pain of the world just keeps spinning around
And the eyes of a child speak of danger awakened
There is a hunger inside it's beginning to push hope aside

You've got to
STAND IN THE LIGHT
Feel your heart beat so clearly
STAND IN THE LIGHT
Where you know that the voices will hold you so tight
All through the night
You can send your fears away
Faith and Hope are here to stay
When you STAND IN THE LIGHT
We all ask the questions
What, Where, When, and Why
You must believe inside your heart
The answers lie
Why, don't you
Reach for the hands of a mother who's fallen?
Will you carry the load of your brother who's bound?
If you give of yourself you'll know joy and not sorrow
And the world will remember why LOVE is the way we must go
Come on and

STAND IN THE LIGHT
You will hear your soul singing
STAND IN THE LIGHT
You will hear your soul singing
STAND IN THE LIGHT
Close your eyes he will touch you and hold you so tight
And make you right
It doesn't matter what you've done
Go to the Father and the Son
You must hurry and stand
