Hey now, all you sinners
Put your lights on,
put your lights on
Hey now all you lovers
Put you lights on,
put your lights on

Hey now, all you killers
Put you lights on,
put you lights on
Hey now, all you children
Leave your lights on,
you better leave you lights on

‘Cause there’s a monster,
living under my bed,
whispering in my ear
And there’s an angel,
with a hand on my head
She say I got nothing to fear

There’s a darkness,
living deep in my soul
Its still got a purpose to serve
So let your lights shine,
deep into my home
God don’t let me lose my nerve,
don’t let me lose my nerve

Hey now, hey now,
hey now, hey now
Wo-oh hey now
Hey now, hey now,
hey now, hey now

Hey now, all you sinners
Put you lights on,
put you lights on
Hey now, all you children
Leave your lights on,
you better leave your lights on

‘Cause there’s a monster,
living under my bed,
whispering in my ear
And there’s an angel,
with a hand on my head
She say I got nothing to fear
She says, la elaha ela allah,
you don’t shine like a star
la elaha ela allah,
you don’t shine like a star
Never fade away
