Genesis - The Light
I first saw Joe and Mary
Before the journey had just begun
Saw a light, shining bright
★ Verse 2 ★
When it started to fall on our front gate
I saw the light began to fade
Then he looked and found himself
(Before he went a-running)
★ Chorus ★
Hey, what was that long ago?
Coming out of nowhere, it's a light
Can't you see it?
★ Verse 3 ★
When I told my friend "come on by today"
It provided him to take the tears away
Now you see him from day to day
Looking for the light
★ Verse 4 ★
When you saw my friends, when your legs gyrate
If you see a light callin' you, you got it made
Remember, Joe an' Mary weren't afraid
When they saw the light
★ Chorus ★
Hey, what was that long ago?
Coming out of nowhere, it's a light
Can't you see it?
★ Post-Chorus ★
Poor times again
Every time I love
Even though I know
Only I can see the light ❲?❳
★ Bridge ★
There am I, like a bird
Calling you like a butterfly
All around the people will stare
Stare, stare, stare, na-na-na-ne-ne-ne-ne-ne
★ Verse 3 ★
I told my friends "come on by today"
It provided him to take the tears away
Now you see him from day to day
Looking for the light
★ Chorus ★
Hey, what was that long ago?
Coming out of nowhere, it's a light
Can't you see it?
★ Instrumental Break ★
★ Bridge ★
Ahh-ahh-ahh-ahh
Ahh-ahh-ahh-ahh-ahh-ahh-ah-ah-ahh-ahh
Ahh-ahh-ahh-ahh
Ahh-ahh-ahh-ahh
Ahh-ahh-ahh-ahh-ahh
Ahh-ahh-ahh-ahh
★ Verse 4 ★
When you saw my friends, when your legs gyrate
If you see a light callin' you, you got it made
Remember, Joe an' Mary weren't afraid
When they saw the light
★ Bridge ★
Like a bird
Calling you like a butterfly
All around the people will stare
Stare, stare

Biography
Formed by five Charterhouse pupils including Banks, Rutherford, Gabriel and Anthony Phillips, Genesis was named by former pupil Jonathan King who arranged them to record several unsuccessful singles and an album. After splitting with King, the group began touring professionally, signing with Charisma Records. Following the departure of Phillips, Genesis recruited Collins and Hackett and recorded several progressive rock style albums, with live shows centred around Gabriel’s theatrical costumes and performances.
Their discography includes fifteen studio and six live albums, six of which topped the UK chart. They have won numerous awards and nominations, including a Grammy Award for Best Concept Music Video with “Land of Confusion” and inspired a number of tribute bands recreating Genesis shows from various stages of the band’s career. In 2010, Genesis were inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame. Their biggest hit to date is Invisible Touch which spent 3 consecutive weeks at #1.
Peter Gabriel was the lead singer of the progressive-rock band from 1967 to 1975. He wanted to spice up the bands performances and so started wearing elaborate makeup and clothing his most famous was the fox mask and red dress which became the cover art for their 1972 album Foxtrot.
