Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
She leads the children
Ain't it right, ain't it right, ain't it right!
And ain't it wond'rous, the way she does it
Gives love and loves it
Ain't it right, ain't it right, ain't it right!
Light de light, we got mornin', mornin' makes another day
Lordy, light the night away!
Light de light, we got mornin', mornin' makes another day
Glory sight, got de dawnin'
Lordy, light the night away!
Light de light, we got mornin', mornin' makes another day
Glory sight, got de dawnin'
Lordy, light the night away!
She walks on water, ain't it like her
She leads the children
Ain't it right, ain't it right, ain't it right!
