The Light
Crystal Skies Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I touch the sky
Before the light passes by
They'll see that look in my eyes
It's just determination
And after all this time
They'll finally look inside
And they'll see
The fire inside, inside, inside

It's killing me now
As the light's running out
Hold on to what i have left of you
There's only so much
I watch the light die out
With the heart inside
Take what i can get
Trying to keep the flame lit

I touch the sky
Before the light passes by
They'll see that look in my eyes
It's just determination
And after all this time
They'll finally look inside
And they'll see
The fire inside, inside, inside

It's killing me now
As the light's running out
Hold on to what i have left of you
There's only so much
I watch the light die out
With the heart inside
Take what i can get
Trying to keep the flame lit

It's killing me now
As the light's running out
Hold on to what i have left of you
There's only so much
I watch the light die out
With the heart inside




Take what i can get
Trying to keep the flame lit
