Lyrics
Oh Lord, I see a light
I hear broad gates throwing back their bolts
I feel arms of welcome open wide
Oh Lord, a light so bright
And I don't know what it means
I don't know what it means
It means rows of shiny fighter jets
Kills for Nazis, China threats
POW's and candy jars
And war, bloody war, and so much more
Oh Lord, you are too good to me
Your hands are warm and your grip is firm
And your light's so bright that I can't see
Oh Lord, is this the promised land?
I pray that you will lead the way
Hold on tightly to my hand
Believe me son, I'll hold you tight
Guide you through the blinding light
To the death of all the union shops
And a noose for big Gorbachev
Our streets are free from lefty beggars
You'll dine with Marcos and Noriega
Your slickest schemes and darkest dreams
Are coming true, you're gonna get what you deserve
Oh Lord, your light's so bright
I don't mean to criticize
But it's really starting to hurt my eyes
Oh Lord, your grip is just a little too tight
If you could loosen it just a touch
You don't have to be so rough
Rafiq, sir, you've made my day
And you see what's on the way
Welfare cuts and culture funding
Are gonna learn you boys about pain and suffering
No, no, what's happening?
No, no, it's all a bad dream
My God, what have I done?
Something has gone wrong
Yes, yes, it's all as planned
Ah, my boy, you are now a man
You'll learn and burn anew each day
Tear the deepest wrongs away
Heaven's grace may trickle down someday
Oh Lord, how could I have been so wrong?
My father, weren't you with me all along?
Oh Lord, I want to go back
Purge memory, kill history
Dream unilateral attack
Hush, my son, you have done me so proud
Smiling, simpering, sold my back
Lost your nation, raised my flag
My son, now off to bed with you
I'll wake you when the others have arrived
It won't be long now, they will follow you
They will follow you
Oh, to God's bitter arms
I really pray that you can come alive
This is all one big surprise
Settle in and dry your eyes
Maggie dear, mommy dear
Welcome home, there's room for many more
