Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
What a nice place to be
I never thought I'd see the skies separate for me
And here I am
What a nice surprise
If only I had known what life was like on this side
You always bring me light, and you help me find my way
Here I am
Humbled and amazed
This beautiful little miracle of life was gifted to me
And here I am
I never thought I'd say
If ever I could live my life again
I'd live it your way
You've always brought me life, and you've helped me find my way
A simple kiss goodnight is the innocence I crave
I'll never waste your time
I'll never cause you pain
I'll love you all my life
I'll love you everyday
Under the light you shine on me
I promise I will be there for you baby
I'd never wanna leave you anyway
You've become my light
I cross my heart that's in your hands
With hope that you'll always be my best friend
I promise I will be there 'til the end
You've become my light
Under the light you shine on me
I promise I will be there for you baby
I'd never wanna leave you anyway
You've become my light
I cross my heart that's in your hands
With hope that you'll always be my best friend
I promise I will be there 'til the end
You've become my light
You've become my light
You've become my light
You've become my light
You've become my light
You've become my light
Under the light you shine on me
I promise I will be there for you baby
I'd never wanna leave you anyway
You've become my light
I cross my heart that's in your hands
With hope that you'll always be my best friend
I promise I will be there 'til the end
You've become my light
You've become my light
You've become my light
You've become my light
You've become my light

Sully Erna Aaron Lewis and Ivan Moody have greatly impacted my life the past 3 years. When lyrics speak to you it's deep man.

Amen and Amen 🙏🕊️🙏

To complete my Bachelor's in English, I wrote a paper on the raw beauty of Sully's lyrics. Pure poetry, and I would listen to Ivan Moody sing the ingredients off of a cereal box. LOL He's a brilliant song writer too!

Im a combat veteran w severe PTSD and multiple head injuries. My life since returning home so many years ago had still been a rough road. Many times i have thought of suicide and giving in to the darkness. This song touches me in so many ways. It gives me hope, it makes me want to tell the whole world how much i cherish my family. And my service dog Trigger who i cant possibly imagine NOT being w me.
If this somehow gets to Sully, i just want to say thank you. Ive enjoyed your music since the early 90's and i will always.
Matter of fact i want this song played at my surfing funeral. I want my ashes scattered in the line up at Jax Bch Fla at the north side of the pier with my wife, kids, and grand kids all in the water, on boards, in a circle for a celebration not a mourning.
So thank you Sully, i appreciate it.

This song brings me to my knees every time I hear it. I have 2 daughters that are my world. My everything. They are grown now, but it seems like yesterday I was holding them in my arms.
