Ray of light,\\
I'm looking for a ray of light,\\
The 'I hate myself and I choose\\
to beat myself up about it blues',\\
I don't need that stuff no more,\\
To fuck my life up and obscure my ray of light,\\
I'm looking for a ray of light.\\

A Christmas card a birthday cake,\\
A phone call from an old soul mate,\\
A hand of hope across the wire,\\
A moment's truce a day's ceasefire,\\
Something good along the way,\\
I'll keep searching for that ray of light.\\

If they took an X-ray of my soul,\\
They'd find a shadow as black as coal,\\
And behind my ribs a heavy heart,\\
That breathes and lives there in the dark,\\
I don't need that stuff no more,\\
To fuck my life up and obscure my ray of light.\\
