I'm only human, I'm just a man
It don't make no difference who I am
I've climbed some mountains, and I've tumbled down
I've been a king, I've been a cloud

Chorus
So heaven leave the light on
It's dark and I can't see
So heaven leave the light on
Burn like a fire for me
And I won't have no problem askin' please
Heaven leave the light on for me

Well, I've heard of mansions, and streets paved in gold
Yeah I know that's where I want to go
But how do you get there
Yes, I've heard 'em say that if you have to ask then you don't know your way

(chorus)

If I see the river, I'm not afraid to die
Cuz I know I'll find the other side

So heaven leave the light on
It's dark and I can't see
So heaven leave the light on
Burn like a fire for me
And I won't have no problem askin' please

(chorus)
