10cc ~ Shine A Light In The Dark


I've been lost before and i had to pay It was never easy but i found a way Well the journey was hard and the road was tough There were times when i cried lord i've had enough Please don't desert me now Don't you leave me stranded now i need a friend Please don't desert me now You've gotta show me mercy when i'm helpless Show me mercy when i'm helpless Shine a light in the dark Hold me back when i get reckless Shine a light in the dark Stand me up if i get legless Shine a light in the dark Shine a light in the dark Shine a light in the dark I've been down and out and i've been fit to drop But the thought of you wouldn't let me stop Now a man should stand upon his own two feet Because the taste of failure is a bitter sweet Please don't desert me now I can hear the reaper calling in the wind Please don't desert me now You've gotta show me mercy when i'm helpless Show me mercy when i'm helpless Shine a light in the dark Hold me back when i get reckless Shine a light in the dark Stand me up if i get legless Shine a light in the dark Shine a light in the dark Shine a light in the dark Where were you when the chips were down I fell apart when i hit the town Where were you when i couldn't get arrested Where were you when the lights went out I blew a fuse, did you hear me shout Where on earth do i look for heavens sake There's a brotherhood that i want to see Gotta take my share of equality There's no harmony in a one man band Even god almighty needs a helping hand Please don't desert me now There's no time and i can't fight another day Please don't desert me now You've gotta show me mercy when i'm helpless Show me mercy when i'm helpless Shine a light in the dark Hold me back when i get reckless Shine a light in the dark Stand me up if i get legless Shine a light in the dark Shine a light in the dark Shine a light in the dark (repeat to fade) more free lyrics

I've been lost before and i had to pay
It was never easy but i found a way
Well the journey was hard and the road was tough
There were times when i cried lord i've had enough
Please don't desert me now
Don't you leave me stranded now i need a friend
Please don't desert me now
You've gotta show me mercy when i'm helpless
Show me mercy when i'm helpless
Shine a light in the dark
Hold me back when i get reckless
Shine a light in the dark
Stand me up if i get legless
Shine a light in the dark
Shine a light in the dark
Shine a light in the dark
I've been down and out and i've been fit to drop
But the thought of you wouldn't let me stop
Now a man should stand upon his own two feet
Because the taste of failure is a bitter sweet
Please don't desert me now
I can hear the reaper calling in the wind
Please don't desert me now
You've gotta show me mercy when i'm helpless
Show me mercy when i'm helpless
Shine a light in the dark
Hold me back when i get reckless
Shine a light in the dark
Stand me up if i get legless
Shine a light in the dark
Shine a light in the dark
Shine a light in the dark
Where were you when the chips were down
I fell apart when i hit the town
Where were you when i couldn't get arrested
Where were you when the lights went out
I blew a fuse, did you hear me shout
Where on earth do i look for heavens sake
There's a brotherhood that i want to see
Gotta take my share of equality
There's no harmony in a one man band
Even god almighty needs a helping hand
Please don't desert me now
There's no time and i can't fight another day
Please don't desert me now
You've gotta show me mercy when i'm helpless
Show me mercy when i'm helpless
Shine a light in the dark
Hold me back when i get reckless
Shine a light in the dark
Stand me up if i get legless
Shine a light in the dark
Shine a light in the dark
Shine a light in the dark
(repeat to fade)

Globalized Sounds

Today, beautiful European and American music, an Afrobeats recorded in Lagos, can play in headphones in Tokyo; a South Korean idol group can fill an Argentine stadium to capacity. On Spotify, the playback volume of African music has increased by 500% in five years; K-pop has already transcended the Asian border and become a common language for young people all over the world; Latin music has consistently topped the streaming charts for several consecutive years. The world is getting smaller while the scope of music is expanding.

The Power of the Scene

When the lights dim and the first note is played, strangers become synchronized. The tremor when thousands sing together, and the melody that still echoes after the crowd disperses - this is an experience that no screen can convey. We look forward to the return of large-scale concerts to the essence of music, and we also look forward to small livehouses continuing to nourish the most vibrant soil of music.

Crossing Borders

Music transcends languages - even if you don't understand the lyrics, you can still shed tears or dance. It transcends cultures - the drumbeats of Nigeria and the chants of Iceland coexist under the same sky. It transcends generations - a song from half a century ago can still bring tears to the eyes of today's young people.

We Create Together

The future of global music is not determined by algorithms, nor is it monopolized by a few giants. It is shaped by every person who presses the play button. Maintain your curiosity, step out of your comfort zone. Support independent musicians and attend live performances. Seek connections through music - because we believe that a song can change a day, and music can change the world.
