Representative lyrics
English (Original Language)
1. We are like lightbulbs hanging from the heavens, and we can turn the light on. We can turn the light on. He is the source of unlimited power, but we can turn the light on. We can turn the light on.
And like the lightning we grow brighter whenever He commands. And with the thunder we are rolling like a stone through every land. He is the light. The light of the world. Shining in darkness. Guiding us with His love. And if we open up our hearts, He will help us light the dark. He is the light. The light of the world.
2. We are like moonlight glowing in the night sky. We can turn the light on. We can turn the light on. He is the sunshine that gives this whole world light. And we can turn the light on. We can turn the light on.
And like the lightning we grow brighter whenever He commands. And with the thunder we are rolling like a stone through every land. He is the light. The light of the world. Shining in darkness. Guiding us with His love. And if we open up our hearts, He is the light. The light of the world.
Ahh Whoa Ohh He is the light. The light of the world. Shining in darkness. Guiding us with His love. And if we open up our hearts, He will help us light the dark. He is the light. The light of the world. He is the light. Oh whoa He is the light.
