Verse 1

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

Chorus

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

 The light gives heat

Verse 2

It's not the way to light their way

 Poison holes in empty fields

 Oh, how good it feels

 Lower-class, and understate

 Empty promise, empty plate

Chorus

You treat me like I'm blind

Setting fires around houses on the hill

Light gives heat

 You segregate my mind

 Burning crosses from your fears, your fears

 But light gives heat, gives heat

Chorus

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

 The light gives heat

Bridge

 Will you teach us how to love?

To see the things you see

Walk the road you walked

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
