You make it sound easy
You say just hold your hand out dont you
You just hold your hand out dont you
That hope never leaves you
cos a light shines on that helps you to steer
Makes everything clear
(well it might)
Well it might in your world
(but it doesnt)
But it doesnt in mine
(Ive been stumbling)
Ive been stumbling in the dark for years
And the light just made me blind

You say it lights every pathway
Shows me how to live life
For the rest of my days
For the rest of my days
(but I cant)
But I cant put my faith in
(your words)
Your words and demands
(I believe)
I believe in God alright
Its folk like you I just cant stand

You dont have to try and scare me
To reinforce my faith sir
cos I know that one day
Ill stand before my maker

(and it Im found)
And if Im found wanting
(when my case)
When my case is heard
(itll be)
Itll be by the author
Not some interpreter of his words

You make it sound easy
You say just hold your hand out dont you
You just hold your hand out dont you
That hope never leaves you
cos a light shines on that helps you to steer
Makes everything clear
(well it might)
Well it might in your world
(but it doesnt)
But it doesnt in mine
(Ive been stumbling)
Ive been stumbling in the dark for years
And the light just made me blind
Yeah the light just made me blind
