It's nearly nightfall
Your ammunition is running low
Another ambush
And there's no where left to go
You're on the night guard, alone and hard
You dig in and get down low
That's the way it is…in Hollywood
But, I believe that somewhere, at the center of us all
Where hands don't reach for guns and bombs don't fall
And we ask ourselves if we realize, exactly what we do
We've got to find a way to let some light shine though
We've got to find a way to let some light shine through
He's a soldier
in the city streets
He's just a boy
He can't keep his rifle clean.
He's only 14
Can you tell me what he's seen
But I believe that somewhere, at the center of us all
Where hands don't reach for guns and bombs don't fall
And we ask ourselves if we realize, exactly what we do
Muslim and Christian and black and white
The Arab and the Jew
We've got to find a way to let some light shine through
We've got to find a way to let some light shine through
Muslim and Christian and black and white
The Arab and the Jew
We've got to find a way to let some light shine through
We've got to find a way to let some light shine through
