[Toast version] I don't wanna get personal Or have you put me on the spot Don't know how you feel But for me it's getting hot Floating in the deep blue sea Standing at the big parade All it takes is a little shade Standing in the light of love Standing in the light of love All we need is a little love To make a handout worth a lot Doesn't matter where you are Or where you're not Sinking in the deep blue sea Marching in the long parade All you need is a little shade When you’re standing in the light of love Standing in the light of love Drowning in the deep blue sea Trudging in the long parade All it takes is a little shade Standing in the light of love Standing in the light of love [2001 lyrics - version from Gent, 2001-06-18] I don't wanna get personal Or have you put me on the spot I don't know how you feel But for me it's getting hot Floating in the deep blue sea Standing at the long parade All I need is a little shade Standing in the light of love Standing in the light of love Doesn't matter who you are Or who you're not All it takes is a little love To make a handout worth a lot Swimming in the deep blue sea Standing in the long parade All it takes is a little shade Standing in the light of love Standing in the light of love In a heart with so much anger In a heart with so much hate In a love with so much danger How can you deal at heaven's gate? Sinking in the deep blue sea Trudging in the long parade All you need is a little shade Standing in the light of love Standing in the light of love Standing in the light of love Dancing in the light of love [new 2014 lyrics - version from Colmar, 2014-08-08] (Oh-oh oh-oh-oh-oh, Standing in the light of love) (Oh-oh oh-oh-oh-oh, Standing in the light of love) (Oh-oh oh-oh-oh-oh, Standing in the light of love) (Oh-oh oh-oh-oh-oh, Standing in the light of love) In a world with so much anger In a world with so much pain (Oh-oh oh-oh-oh-oh, standing in the light of love) In a world with so much sadness How will you feel at heaven's gate? (Oh-oh oh-oh-oh-oh, Standing in the light of love) Rising with the deep blue sea Floating in the big parade Still you will find an answer Standing in the light of love Standing in the light of love By the wealth of the corporations Must the earth bow down to greed? (Oh-oh oh-oh-oh-oh, Standing in the light of love) In a world controlled by oil How much power do they need (Oh-oh oh-oh-oh-oh, Standing in the light of love) Drowning in the deep blue sea Still you need not be afraid For you can find an answer Standing in the light of love Standing in the light of love (Oh-oh oh-oh-oh-oh, Standing in the light of love) (Oh-oh oh-oh-oh-oh, Standing in the light of love) Every day the earth is damaged In the endless search for oil (Oh-oh oh-oh-oh-oh, standing in the light of love) Ancient ways of life are broken As we suck it from the soil (Oh-oh oh-oh-oh-oh, standing in the light of love) Rising with the deep blue sea Walking in the long parade You need not feel afraid Standing in the light of love Standing in the light of love (Oh-oh oh-oh-oh-oh, Standing in the light of love) (Oh-oh oh-oh-oh-oh, Standing in the light of love) I don't want to get personal Or have you put me on the spot (Oh-oh oh-oh-oh-oh, Standing in the light of love) I don't know how you feel But for me it's getting hot (Oh-oh oh-oh-oh-oh, Standing in the light of love) I've got to get somewhere I've got to move against the grain Fighting for tomorrow's children Against the power and the pain Standing in the light of love (Oh-oh oh-oh-oh-oh, Standing in the light of love) (Oh-oh oh-oh-oh-oh, Standing in the light of love)
