I am a song
I been here all along
I'll be here when the hatred's gone
Hey can you recognize me
I am the light of the sun


And if you come with me
And if you let it be (on my way back home)
And sing my melody
Then it don't have to wash away
In a memphis city rain


For the world a long time awaiting
For the hatred now to be fading
For the love to give


I am a song
But i'm not the one
They use to march their guns
And every child knows me
I am the light of the son
