"Light of the World"

Copyright 2012, Tano Music

Words & Music by Tom Sperrazzo

Light for the new born world!

 

Light entered the world,

So night would not hold fear;

Light flooded the world

From a word that came from nowhere;

 

Light showered the world

And fed the flowers destined to live here;

Light brightened the world

Warming the children born from somewhere.

 

Bright and gentle white just like a dove always in sight there

Our light is like a sign in the sky;

Sunlight and moonlight, starlight--

 

Light for the newborn world!

Light for the newborn world!
