there lived a young girl
with beauty in her eyes
she dreamed about the day when someone
would sweep her heart away
to the land of summer light
as time unfolds into the past
her heart of lonliness stands waiting
for that day to come at last
Prince of light, oh, Prince of light, oh
Prince of Light, oh, touch my life, oh
Prince of peace, oh, let it be, oh
Prince of Peace, oh
come to me, to me
she seems Him in her mind
the Prince of Peace comes riding through
the heartland, bathed in holy light
but then she sees the clothes that she wears
the dirt, the rags, the stains, the tears
oh why would someone care
Prince of light, oh, Prince of light, oh
Prince of Light, oh, touch my life, oh
Prince of peace, oh, let it be, oh
Prince of Peace, oh
come to me, to me
the dream comes to an end
she sits in silence once again and wonders
her heart breaks but it will bend
and quietly a voice says
"Child, you know that I made that choice
when I gave my life for you."
Prince of light, Prince of Light, Prince of Light
Prince of light, touch my life, my life
Prince of Peace, let it be
Prince of Peace
