Step Into the Light Songtext
von Mavis Staples

Believe what you want
That no one will care
When you die
The world keeps rolling by

Believe what you will
As you lie there perfectly still
When you die
The world keeps rolling by

Oh, Lord, it′s a quest to find the place
That will show you the sign
Because it's only time before you step into the light, my friend (step into the light)

My friend, step into the light (step into the light)
Walk on through, walk on through
(Step into the light)
Step into the light, yeah (step into the light)
I said step into the light
′Cause where we're going to we ascend
It's a never ending journey
Step into the light, my friend


You see what you want
But you′re seeing through eyes
That are blind
What you think you′re gonna find?

You see what you will
As you're climbing up that hill
Until you die
And the world keeps rolling by

Oh, Lord, it′s a quest to find the place
That will show you the sign
Because it's only time before you step into the light, my friend (step into the light)

Oh, my friend, step into the light (step into the light)
Walk on through, walk on through
(Step into the light)
Step into the light, hmm (step into the light)
I said step into the light
′Cause where we're going to we ascend
It′s a never ending journey
Step into the light, my friend, my friend

Oh, Lord, it's a quest to find the place
That will show you the sign
Because it's only time before you step into the light, my friend (step into the light)


Yeah, step into the light (step into the light)
Walk on through, walk on through
(Step into the light)
Step into the light (step into the light), yeah
′Cause where we′re going to we ascend
It's a never ending journey
Step into the light, to the light, to the light my friend (step into the light)

Step into the light (step into the light)
Walk on through, walk on
In the light (step into the light)
Nothing but joy in the light (step into the light)
Nothing but peace, yo, in the light (step into the light)
No more sorrow (no more sorrow) in the light (step into the light)
No more pain (no more pain) in the light (step into the light)

Meet my dear old mother in the light (step into the light)
Meet my loving father in the light (step into the light)
Oh, without, without it, never, never goodbye (step into the light)
Talk with the Father in the light (step into the light)
I′m gonna chat with the Son, in the light (step into the light)
I'm gonna tell Him about this world that I just come from (step into the light)
In the light, ooh, the light (step into-)
