Catch  the rain empty hands
 Save the children from their lands
 Wash the darkness from their skin
 Heroes from the west
 We don't know you, we know best
 But this is not a test
You  treat me like I'm blind
Setting  fires  around houses  on the hill
 But light  gives heat
You  segregate my mind
Burning  crosses  from your fears,  oh
 The light  gives heat
It's  not the way to light their way
 Poison holes in empty fields
 Oh, how good it feels
 Lower-class, and understate
 Empty promise, empty plate
You  treat me like I'm blind
Setting  fires  around houses  on the hill
Light  gives heat
 You segregate  my mind
 Burning  crosses  from your fears,  your fears
 But light  gives heat,  gives heat
 - -  -  –  –  –  –  –  –
You  treat me like I'm blind
Setting  fires  around houses  on the hill
 But light  gives heat
You  segregate my mind
Burning  crosses  from your fears,  oh
 The light  gives heat
 Will you  teach us how to love?
To  see the things you see
Walk  the road you walked
Feel  the pain that you feel
 At your  feet I kneel,
 I want  to see you shine
 See your  light not mine
 'Cause light  gives heat
 Your light  gives heat
