If I could ease your pain
If I could lighten your load
If I could make it just a little better for you
If I could just help you find
That sacred place in your mind
Where the light of understanding love
Outshines the sun

You know, sweet moonshine is not just
Illegal whiskey
It can also be the light guides you
Through the shadows of fear
When the Devil is near
An' you need some kind of helping hand
To carry you through

Know you been livin' in a down hill arraign
For seein' your death on a military plane
You said: "Oh, now
"Can't take no more now"
No doubt about it when you find out about it
You gonna wanna run an' tell all your friends about it
Easy, it's so easy

Peace on earth is comin' on strong
You bad guys better believe us
We're all workin' on the same sweet song
You better get ready, by Jesus
He'll never leave us
Standin' in the middle of a road
With a load of mankind's dirty laundry

We're all livin' in the same big boat
An' you know we just can't fake it
If you don't think that you can float
C'mon, we'll help you make it
Because we love you

If I could ease your pain
If I could lighten your load
If I could make it just a little better for you
If I could just help you find
That sacred place in your mind
Where the light of understanding love
Outshines the sun

Where the light of understanding love
Outshines the sun
