Ray Of Hope (2007 Reissue Bonus Track)

(album: 3 Ships - 1985)

A ray of light appears
And tells me someone's there
A ray of hope
As if God's lighting the lamp for me

A friendly hand takes mine
And leads me to the light
A blazing light
Beseeching me to see

A new dawn is beginning
A dawn of revelation
Dawn of illumination
To warm the heart and soul
One ray of light that's all
But oh, the joy it brings

A shining friend
That's telling us we'll all meet again
Imagine life after life
The dream we never dare to dream
Is ours tonight
A new age is born from one ray of light

There'll always be some things
Wise men will never know
Why doesn't God
Take all the hunger and fear away?

I'm certain
There is a greater plan
Some heavenly design
Where everyone finds love one day

There has to be a reason
For heartache and despair
And once we find that reason
It's something we can share

One ray of light, that's all
But oh, the joy it brings
A shining friend
That's telling us we'll all meet again

Imagine life after life
The dream we never dare to dream
Is ours tonight
A new age is born from one ray of light
