The Light
Da L.E.S. Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

It's 4 A.M what a mess, I wanna disappear
Let's go out for a walk, without that fear
Even in this stormy weather, we are meant together
So take life, light as a feather and keep all of your shit together
So, look at your own life it's like a song
Loads of energy and emotions that makes you strong
Even in this stormy weather we are meant together
So take life, light as a feather and keep all of your shit together

The sun is shining high up in the sky
Today I feel like I I can fly
Even in this stormy weather we are meant together
So take life light as a feather and keep all of your shit together
Let's go and have some fun, the weather is fine if you dressed well done
Let some fresh air run through your brains. Before the song remains the same
The sun is shining high up the sky
Today I feel like I can fly
The sun is shining high up in the sky
Today I feel like I I can fly
Even in this stormy weather we are meant together
So take life light as a feather and keep all of your shit together
Even in this stormy weather we are meant together
So take life light as a feather and keep all of your shit together
The sun is shining

Even in this stormy weather we are meant together
So take life light as a feather and keep all of your shit together
