Lyrics

The Light

Happier than ever before
No second chances
'Cause I love my friends and my opponents

You were still the same as me
Only I enhance it
Magic lives in this sacred moment

I am here and I'm still free
See my flame's still dancing
My eclipsing for your enjoyment

Feel this conscious energy
And a reach for mercy
Life is better when you're open

Live today, if only for one moment
The light of your life is everywhere
Live today, if only for one moment
The light of your life is everywhere
(Where) everywhere (where, where)

I am not the sun of your imagination
Yet the sun to your harmony and brighter places
Oh I am just a higher tangible dimension
Yet some roaming 'round us, walking life, we're sweet intention

Darkness can't survive within this lighter presence
Hold on to the moment like you truly meant it
Oh take a break from everything with no exception
Just to lie amongst the ambience that is presented

Live today, if only for one moment
The light of your life is everywhere
Live today, if only for one moment
(One moment, one moment, one moment)
The light of your life is everywhere (I said it's everywhere)
(Where, where, where) said it's everywhere, everywhere

Now let's live the life we thought we never had
Just everything is all development
And I hope you see for what it is instead
Unknown pleasures in this environment

Now let's live a life we thought we never had
Just know everything is all development
And I hope you see for what it is instead
Unknown pleasures in this environment
