Lyrics

The Light

Faded was the light that still colored the sky up on high
Shaded was the light that still remained in the sky
Nothing is the same it wasn?t a question
Nothing is ever the same was the reply
Slowly I could see the sadness rolling from their eyes

Desperate the point of view seeks to find a voice
Because never to be spoken is never to have a choice
Sometimes it?s offensive, not meaning pain
Seeking understanding if not forgiveness
And brighter was the look from the light that came to their eyes

Just believe in something, just believe in you
Just believe in something, just believe in you and me
We may not always be right but who?s to say that?s wrong
Mistakes we might have made are in the past that means they?re gone
And nothing of the sadness could remain when the light came to their eyes
And nothing of the sadness could remain when the light came to their eyes
