Bring A Little Light

from The Journey by John Blood

/

lyrics

Why you never tell me things was going bad?
Why you never tell me that things was real hard?
Don’t think because I was here in the good times
That I won’t be here for you in the bad times
That’s what a friend is supposed to be
‘Cause that’s what Granny told me

Chorus
We got to love each other in the good times and bad
Don’t you ever turn your back when your brother is sad
Could be something simple like to listen or a smile
Bring a little light into the darkness for a while

Anytime I see you there’s never time to stay
Always in a hurry to hide yourself away
Now I may not know what is the answer
But one thing I promise to stand in your corner
That’s what a friend is supposed to be
‘Cause that’s what Rasta teach me

Chorus

All is never lost my friend
Until the day we come to the end
So whatever it may be that casts a shadow
Know that there will always be tomorrow
Another chance to put it right
To love yourself stand up and fight
And when you need I’ll be the friend I’m supposed to be
‘Cause that’s what Jah Jah teach me yeah

Chorus
