Light Gives Heat Lyrics - Good Monsters - Jars Of Clay

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 

But light gives heat 

It's not the way to light their way 

Boys in holes and 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 

But 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, no 

But light gives heat 

Will you teach us how to love? 

To see the things you see 

Walk the road you walk 

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
