They said we don't take your kind no we don't want no
guys like you
I lied my way until December hoping Christmas would
pull me through
And then I hung around thinking religion would take its
toll
The lord threw no signs that day it seemed that no one
would take me at all
Then I saw the light on the stage
CHORUS
And I said sing with me oh sing with me
Sing with me all night long
Then hold me close until the morning sun comes
searching for the dawn
I hitched my way back to Houston where I knew that I'd
find a home
My mother claimed no vacancy in this new house that I'd
never known
I found myself a stray all alone caught up in the midst
of my pain
In the howling winds of the night I swore someone was
calling my name
I turned only to see the light on the stage
CHORUS
I took my last dollar made some change and I called a
friend
He said that's no problem pal you know we'd love to
take you in
So he helped me through my trials with some peace from
the lord above
Next thing I know I
