You came out from nowhere like the first star at night   And the world went on like it never saw you come   Your mother felt something and your father wasn't there   But she raised you best she could for a poor man's son      Shame, she never realized the light in your eyes   You're a child of light   You were born into a world that lives in darkness   You're a child of light   And you wear the thorn, anymore than man      As you grow old and wiser, you keep more to yourself   And when you are aware, your body glows   Keep a look to here, as you're walking through the night   They're hoping you might be the Holy Ghost      Do they ever understand the light in your eyes?   You're a child of light   You were born into a world that lives in darkness   You're a child of light   And you wear the thorn, anymore than man      Will they ever understand the light in your eyes?   You're a child of light   Being born into a world that lives in darkness   You're a child of light   And you wear the thorn, anymore than man   A child of light, child of light      Can't you see, child of light   That the world needs you tonight?
