The Light

[Verse 1] The light was shining in my eyes before I closed them And all the dreams I had the night before came back The faces that I'd seen looked so familiar But they're just strangers - I haven't met them yet [Pre-Chorus 1] I know the morning is wiser than the evening I know that wrong and right can sometimes look the same So many things I know, but they don't help me Each day I open up my eyes and start again [Chorus 1] The light comes shining in my eyes The light comes shining in my eyes The light comes shining in my eyes The light comes shining in my eyes [Verse 2] So many stories, I want to tell you I wish that I could show you the many things I've seen You and your daddy, you both look like poets Your eyes are open wide while you are in a dream [PreChorus 2] I know the morning is wiser than the night time I know there's nothing wrong, I shouldn't feel so down So many things I know, but they don't help me Each day I open up my eyes to look around [Chorus 2] The sun comes shining in my eyes The sun comes shining in my eyes The sun comes shining in my eyes The sun comes shining in.... [Bridge] My eyes are closed now Count the stars inside your mind Count the breaths, count heartbeats Count the sounds of life [Verse 3] The light was shining in my eyes before I closed them And all the dreams I had the night before were gone The faces that I'd seen looked so familiar But I forgot them all when I saw the sun [PreChorus 3] I know the morning is wiser than the evening I know that all of life just happens in between So many things I know, but they don't help me Each day I open up my eyes and it begins [Chorus 1] The light comes shining in my eyes The light comes shining in my eyes The light comes shining in my eyes The light comes shining in my eyes [Outro] The light, the light, the light, the light The light, the light, the light...
