Primal Scream Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I was blind, now I can see
You made a believer out of me
I was blind, now I can see
You made a believer out of me

I'm movin' on up now
Getting out of the darkness
My light shines on
My light shines on
My light shines on




I was lost
Now I'm found
I believe in you
I got no bounds
I was lost
Now I'm found
I believe in you
I got no bounds

I'm movin' on up now
Getting out of the darkness
My light shines on
My light shines on
My light shines on (my light shines on)
My light shines on (my light shines on)
My light shines on

(My light shines on)
(My light shines on)
(My light shines on)
(My light shines on)

I'm gettin' out of the darkness (my light shines on)
I'm gettin' out of the darkness (my light shines on)
I'm gettin' out of the darkness (my light shines on)
I'm gettin' out of the darkness (my light shines on)
I'm gettin' out of the darkness (my light shines on)
I'm gettin' out of the darkness (my light shines on)
I'm gettin' out of the darkness (my light shines on)
I'm gettin' out of the darkness (my light shines on)
I'm gettin' out of the darkness (my light shines on)
I'm gettin' out of the darkness (my light shines on)
I'm gettin' out of the darkness (my light shines on)
I'm gettin' out of the darkness (my light shines on)
