[00:24.70]I remember once I broke down in the country
[00:29.27]I was sixteen with a broken heart in bloom
[00:34.78]And I walked home through the pines
[00:38.31]Nobody saw me but the moon
[00:45.67]By sunrise I could hear the church bells ringing
[00:49.30]I got there as the saints were marching in
[00:53.85]I sat down on the back row
[00:57.44]And heard the story once again
[01:03.75]And the servants of the secret fire
[01:06.47]Were gathered there
[01:09.17]The embers of the ages
[01:10.95]Like a living prayer
[01:14.58]And all at once I saw the shadows flee
[01:19.07]Shine your light on me, on me
[01:34.48]Be a light unto my path
[01:38.13]And a lamp unto my feet
[01:44.43]They flew us down to Oklahoma City
[01:49.08]Yeah, but I could hardly stand there on the stage
[01:53.16]So sick I couldn’t speak
[01:56.72]And the fever wouldn’t break
[02:04.07]But when I stepped up to the microphone I heard it
[02:08.52]It was the voices of the brothers at my side
[02:13.16]They were singing out my song
[02:17.61]When the song in me had died
[02:22.18]Oh, shine your light on me
[02:48.53]Somebody come and get me when I’m gone
[03:08.86]Two years ago I drove into a darkness
[03:12.46]I straightened every curve on Cane Ridge Road
[03:18.71]And I could hear the flapping wings
[03:21.49]Of every devil I have known
[03:27.83]And the inside of my car was like a casket
[03:32.32]But then it flooded with a blaze of sacred light
[03:36.87]She was calling me back home
[03:41.32]And as I pulled into the drive
[03:48.53]I knew the servants of the secret fire
[03:50.34]Were gathered there
[03:52.13]The embers of the ages
[03:54.09]Like a living prayer
[03:56.79]She was standing on the porch where I could see
[04:02.19]Shine your light on me, on me
[04:16.66]Be a light unto my path
[04:20.26]And a lamp unto my feet
