See the Light
Earth Wind & Fire Lyrics

Lookin' through the clouds, what do you see?
Asking the listener to think about what is beyond the surface level view when observing the world.

Sky of gases, child in need
Acknowledging the issues humanity faces such as air pollution and the need for the betterment of our younger generations.

Troubles everywhere, more than I can bear
Expressing the overwhelming effect of societal issues that can cause mental and emotional distress.

So I'm searching from within
Trying to find happiness and purpose in one's self despite the external issues of the world.

Help them see the light
Encouraging people to open their minds and hearts towards positivity and enlightenment.

I'm a blossom, in the sun, sunshine of love
Metaphorically describing oneself as a flower that is basking in feelings of love and wholesomeness.

Singing loud to the one, I love above.
Giving thanks and vocalizing gratitude towards a higher power or deity.

Shine on sun, let your light, guide my way.
Metaphorically using the sun as a guide to steer one's self towards a brighter future.

For so long, there's been such darkness,
Reflecting on the duration of negative and detrimental actions that have occurred in the past.

Got to be a better way
Expressing a belief in having faith that there are options for a brighter future.

Keep me lord, help me to grow.
Requesting the aid of a higher power to help one's self become better and spiritual growth.

So I may, reap the fruits,
Discussing the rewards of personal growth and the positive changes one may experience as a result.

Of a free and happy soul.
Expressing a desire to be internally at peace and happy with life.

Give me strength, when temptation calls.
Asking for guidance in making difficult life decisions and staying grounded when faced with adversity.

Lift me up when life's battles make me fall.
Requesting spiritual and emotional aid when faced with the aftermath of negative and traumatic experiences.

Shelter me from the evil and the wrong.
Asking for protection from negative forces in the world and those who wish harm onto others.

So when ya call, dear lord, I said I'll be strong.
Pledging to maintain a sense of spiritual and inner strength when faced with adversity and challenging times.

Walk with me, when the stormy nights are cold,
Requesting for a higher power to provide comfort and guidance during times of hardships.

In your hand lies all control.
Recognizing and acknowledging that a higher power is ultimately in control of one's life and destiny.

Master, then when my final song is sung,
Reflecting on the end of one's life and eventual spiritual ascension.

With your mercy, I pray that you'll say well done.
Asking for the approval and blessing of a higher power at the end of one's life.

Help them see the light
Encouraging others to seek out enlightenment and positive energy in their lives.
