Watch my hand, see it shakes
Trembling as my life blood bleeds
Comfortless super-fakes
Offering their empty creeds
That have no faith or substance
That change to suit the doubter
To satisfy his needs
Rid me of your darkness
Lay a little light on me
Clothe me with your brightness
Lay a little light on me
Oh, save me someone
Lay a little light on me
verse 2
Growing boys masturbate
Drink the wine and take the bread
Saintly priests castigate
Holy water for the head
With shades of John the Baptist
Who came intent to rescue
And danced with death instead
Rid me of my darkness
Lay a little light on me
Clothe me with your brightness
Lay a little light on me
Oh, save me someone
Lay a little light on me___
