His interest in music began at a very young age, and he dabbled on clarinet, piano, and drums before taking a serious interest in the guitar. As his guitar abilities increased, so did his passion for songwriting. He continued excelling in music all the way through high school and college, winning various talent competitions and playing in bands ranging from pop to hard rock to gospel. Galen decided to try his hand at being a solo artist at the age of 19, and quickly discovered a voice he never knew he had. His songwriting talent, vocal finesse, and instrumental skills caught the ears of Nashville producer Mark Heimermann (DC Talk, Michael W. Smith) and legendary songwriter Roger Cook ("I'd Like to Teach the World to Sing", "Long Cool Woman in Black Dress", "Talking in Your Sleep"), and together they are working to form a unique sound around a vision that Galen is intent upon pursuing.

Light
Galen Crew Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

The light of the world cannot be hidden.
Yeah, the light of the world cannot be hidden.

So, wear the spark in your heart
Let's gather around
We're gonna march through the dark
And show this town

That the light of the world cannot be hidden
No.

The light of the world will shine in the shadows.
Yeah, the light the world will shine in the shadows.

So, when the darkness falls over every soul
We're gonna rise like stars with a heavenly glow
'Cause the light of the world will shine in the shadows
(Shadows)

And we'll keep in vigil for the sun.
(Make ready of lost to?) ...when night comes
When He will lead us home.

(La-la-la-light) 2x

The light of the world will burn forever
Yeah, the light of the world will burn forever

No, you can't put out the eternal flame
'Cause the holy fire will never fade
Yeah, the light of the world will burn forever

And we'll keep in vigil for the sun

(Make ready of lost till?) ... when night comes.
When He will lead us home.
