      Dm
Had a dream last night, the angels had come riding


In the light of day where there was no more hiding

Bb/D                             Dm
All so fine, I still see them shine

        Bb/D     Am7/D                 Dm
I saw angels play   right in the light of day

      Dm                          Gsus4/D
And I watched them fly across a fiery sky

Dm                            Bb/D
And I heard their cry as they passed me by

        Am7                   G           Am7               Bb
I could feel the light inside me, I could feel it everywhere

         Am7   Bb
Life was clear      and fair


Woke up in the dark and tried to keep believing
In the light I saw, in time of constant grieving
Vision fair, please don't disappear
And please hear my prayer there in the light of day

When I look within I see them shine again
As the darkness ends and the light begins
I can feel the light inside me, I can feel it everywhere
They are all still there

On the street tonight the innocent are dying
And the world's not right, so many millions crying
Evil lives and hate never gives, hell is never far
And is this all we are?

Oh, Lord, hear us cry, up in the fiery sky
That our souls may fly to you when we die
Help us feel the light inside us, help us feel it everywhere
Oh, Lord, be there
