“Where the Light Shines Through”
When you’re feeling like an astronaut
Stuck on a planet even time forgot
And you’re a version of yourself but you’re not the same
You try to keep the wound camouflaged
And the stitches heal but the years are lost
And another bottle on the shelf can’t numb the pain
Why you running from yourself now?
You can’t run away
Because your scars
Shine like dark stars
Yeah, your wounds are where the light shines through
So let’s go there
To that place where
We sing these broken prayers
Where the light shines through
The wound is where the light shines through
Yeah, the wound is where the light shines through
Ain’t we all just Abraham’s sons?
Saint and sinner with the song and drum?
And falling on our knees, we all bleed the same
And the only tattoos that I have are scars
I got your name written on my heart
And the story that brought us here ain’t the thing I’d change, no
I wanna see that light shining
Brighter than the pain
Because your scars
Shine like dark stars
Yeah, your wounds are where the light shines through
So let’s go there
To that place where
We sing these broken prayers
Where the light shines through
The wound is where the light shines through
Mama ain’t the blood just proof I’m human
Mama ain’t the wound just retribution
But mama ain’t the scar like a vision of grace
The wound is where the light shines through
The wound is where the light finds you
The wound is where the light shines through
The wound is where the light finds you
Yeah your scars
Shine like dark stars
Yeah the wound is where the light shines through
It’s where the light shines through
Where the light shines through
