Yeah, oh, no, no
I want that light, oh
I want that light, oh
Oh, let there be
I want that light

See, I want that light in my house (Oh, let there be light)
I want that light in my car (Oh, let there be light)
I want that light in my pain, no, no (Oh, let there be light)
I want that light when it's dark, dark, da-dark
Oh, no, let there be (Oh, let there be)
Oh, let there be (Oh, let there be)
Oh, li-light
No, no, no, no, no, no, let there be light

For all the fathers and the teachers (Working hard at night)
For all the builders and the cleaners (I pray: Let there be light)
For all the farmers and the chefs and the train drivers, yes
The nurses and the doctors, God bless the NHS
Let their pay rise (Ooh-ooh-ooh)
Let their pay rise up
Let there be light, light, light
For all those overworked and underpaid and dreams of somewhere out of sight
Let there be light
Single mother, no, no-no (She's all alone)
The baby's cryin'
And she's cryin' tears too9, to her sister on the phone
Bring her comfort (Bring her comfort), bring her peace (Bring her comfort)
I pray you Lord, please, yeah, yeah

Da-da-doo, da-doo, da-doo, da-doo, doo-doo-doo, doo-doo-doo (Now that's what I'm talking about)
Oh, let there be
Lord, let there be
Don't we all need a little?

See, I want that light in my house, I do (Oh, let there be light)
I want that light in my car (Oh, let there be light)
I want that light in my dreams, yeah, doo-de
Oh, baby, light all the darkness
Light up the darkness, Lord (Oh, let there be light)
Let there be light, Lord

Doo-doo-doo, doo-doo-doo, doo-doo-doo, doo-doo-doo
Do-do-do, do-do-do, do-do-do
Ooh, hey
