[00:02.957]Oh, oh
[00:04.859]I'm coming home
[00:11.449]The the night is young
[00:17.781]Oh, shine your light
[00:22.993]
[00:22.597]For me when I'm out in the streets
[00:24.761]Ends justify means when you making a meet
[00:26.672]When you losing the sleep that you saying you need
[00:29.156]But what good is rest when it's family to feed
[00:31.266]When it's money to get, when it's dollars to count
[00:33.521]**** a job, you never raised for larger amounts
[00:35.860]Keep the lights on, front door locked
[00:37.693]Cause the villains in the wilderness, lotta George Zimmermans
[00:40.386]Damned with some innocence
[00:41.614]So that mean he still out on the prowl for a black child
[00:43.576]While the judge and jury crack smile, Lord
[00:47.066]Keep the lights burning
[00:50.441]
[00:50.701]Oh, I'm coming home
[00:52.505]I'm coming home
[00:54.523]The road is long
[00:56.549]The night is young
[00:59.000]The night is young
[01:02.601]Somewhere in America
[01:06.269]Say, say your prayers, shine your light
[01:12.807]For me
[01:14.234]
[01:14.521]For me when I'm out on the creep
[01:14.827]Do whatever to get a meal when you barely can eat
[01:16.940]I'm determined to fight the power to further the peace
[01:19.035]Mama scared the police might make a point out of me
[01:21.633]It's gets hard to sleep living life in a daze
[01:23.995]When kings wanna be ******, I hope it's phase
[01:26.151]Queens down to be hoes as long as they paid
[01:28.554]Chained to our oppressor, I'm knowing we slaves
[01:30.985]Who wants to be saved
[01:32.174]When they claim that the prayers that we pray go unheard
[01:34.469]In these God-forgotten days, just in case
[01:36.250]Keep the lights burning
[01:40.485]
[01:40.909]Oh, I'm coming home
[01:42.741]I'm coming home
[01:44.825]The road is long
[01:47.086]The night is young
[01:50.585]The night is young
[01:52.782]Somewhere in America
[01:56.509]Say, say your prayers, shine your light
[02:02.355]For me
[02:03.458]
[02:03.905]For me when I barely can smile
[02:05.219]And the sun refuse to shine when I'm out in the wild
[02:07.301]And the raindrops tap the window pane on my room
[02:09.692]Scared I lost faith, pray I find God soon
[02:12.069]In a world full of alt-rights, I was left field
[02:14.648]Black man born poor, I was black steel
[02:16.824]Black man born free, this how blessed feel
[02:19.243]Because my dreams are dreams, don't make them less real
[02:21.907]Nightmares are still the same thing
[02:23.894]I've fallen from grace, wishing I had wings
[02:26.286]Like a dunk in the summer but I ain't had spring
[02:28.593]Cause all that running from trouble'll give you bad knees
[02:30.719]Now how can I make a move without a play
[02:33.203]I got freedom of speech but with nothing to say
[02:35.325]Cause all that working for something but they barely can pay
[02:37.550]What the glimmer of Heaven giving me every day
[02:40.081]So I wade in the water
[02:41.941]Filled with the sharks, snakes, gators and piranhas
[02:44.146]To the higher, higher ground of the mountaintop
[02:46.425]Away from the shooters that's down for shooting to take a shot
[02:49.105]Cause they believe in everything they ever heard
[02:51.365]From the bigots and racists that twisting every word
[02:53.558]So, a hotel balcony could be the end
[02:55.946]Or a podium speaking to family and friends
[02:58.192]
[02:58.592]So won't you keep that light, light, light
[03:00.106]Keep that light, light, light, light burning for me
[03:03.686]So won't you keep that light, light, light
[03:05.280]Keep that light, light, light, light burning for me
[03:08.403]
[03:09.650]I'm coming home
[03:11.614]The road is long
[03:13.604]The night is young
[03:17.308]The night is young
[03:19.981]Somewhere in America
[03:22.485]Say your, say your prayers, shine your light
[03:30.655]Say your prayers, shine a light
[03:34.402]Shien your light, for me
[03:43.062]For me, ohh
[03:53.866]For me, ohh
[03:57.815]
