C#m                      B                               A                               C#m 
They said we don?take your kind no we don?want no guys  like you 
C#m                          B                                   A                                   C#m 
I lied my way until December hoping Christmas would pull me through 
       F#m                  B                  E                        B             C#m 
And then I hung around thinking religion would take its toll 
        F#m                      B                                       E                   B           C#m 
The lord threw no signs that day it seemed that no one would take me at all 
         F#m           B                   C#m 
Then I saw the light on the stage 
 
CHORUS
                   C#m                     E 
And I said sing with me oh sing with me 
   B                               C#m 
Sing with me all night long 
          C#m                                   E                           B                      C#m 
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?find a home 
My mother claimed no vacancy in this new house that I?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?no problem pal you know we?love to take you in 
So he helped me through my trials with some peace from the lord above 
Next thing I know I?on the stage doing everything that I?dreamed of 
Now it seems that I am the light on the stage 
Now it seems that we are the lights on the stage 
 
CHORUS 2X
