In the vacant eyes of a small child I see numbness from the pain - she sees only filth around her - what has she to gain - Crack-house drive-by shootings - Winos in the lane - Kid encased in concrete - Have we gone insane.

(chorus) Light a light - give of yourself - we can do so much if you will - light a light - in the eyes of a stranger.

The strangers are the ones who’ve committed many crimes - The strangers are the unborn children still to come in time - Complain about pollution - Do ya gripe about the crime - Do ya think on the solutions - or don’t you have the time?

(chorus) Light a light - give of yourself - we can do so much if you will - light a light - in the eyes of a stranger.

The strangers also the one that ya see in the mirror - the you that thinks of capitol gains and doesn’t really fear the gathering of the little guy - all around the town - Democracy in action will some day bring you round.

(chorus) Light a light - give of yourself - we can do so much if you will - light a light - in the eyes of a stranger.
