[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)
