When the Light Appears Lento Youâll bare your bones youâll grow youâll pray youâll only know When the light appears, boy, when the light appears Youâll sing & youâll love youâll praise blue heavens above When the light appears, boy, when the light appears Youâll whimper & youâll cry youâll get yourself sick and sigh Youâll sleep & youâll dream youâll only know what you mean When the light appears, boy, when the light appears Youâll come & youâll go, youâll wander to and fro Youâll go home in despair youâll wonder whyâd you care Youâll stammer & youâll lie youâll ask everybody why Youâll cough and youâll pout youâll kick your toe with gout Youâll jump youâll shout youâll knock youâre friends about Youâll bawl and youâll deny & announce your eyes are dry Youâll roll and youâll rock youâll show your big hard cock Youâll love and youâll grieve & one day youâll come believe As you whistle & you smile the lord made you worthwhile Youâll preach and youâll glide on the pulpit in your pride Sneak & slide across the stage like a river in high tide Youâll come fast or come on slow just the same youâll never know When the light appears, boy, when the light appears May 3, 1987, 2:30 AM
