A LIGHT IN THE WINDOW

(T. Beechey)



There's a Light in the window of the Cottage on the hill

That's been burning since forever and shall never stop until

All the people come together, united in goodwill

There's a Light in the window of the Cottage on the hill



There's a Light in the window of the Cottage on the hill

And when the people stop and think before they start to kill

Its glow shall finally start to dim...but not one second till

There's a Light in the window of the Cottage on the hill



It's by neither lamp nor candle that the Light beckons forth

Yet to the east and to the west and all point south and north

The beam is shown wherever a threatening hand is raised

Where children cry and visions die in glory's blinding blaze



There's a Light in the window of the Cottage on the hill

That shines for all the ones who are judged not by their skill

But by misconceptions that are spoken sharp and shrill

There's a Light in the window of the Cottage on the hill



There's a Light in the window of the Cottage on the hill

Which illuminates the footsteps that have no shoes to fill

Where hope's just an illusion and luck is next to nil

There's a Light in the window of the Cottage on the hill



Underneath the bridges, in between the buildings where

Tattered souls with shattered roles are often huddled there

The Light can still be captured with no need for sacrifice ---

The Cottage, it is Heaven and the Light is Jesus Christ



There's a Light in the window of the Cottage on the hill

That's been burning since forever and keeps on burning still

Even if there's just one left that shudders from the chill

There's a Light in the window of the Cottage on the hill
