The Light
Goat Mumbles Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I'm checking in on it
Baby meet me down the line
I'm not paying for it
'Cause the modern world makes me cry
But I'm here for it
Though sometimes I just want to die
But I'm reaching for it
Holding on to The Light
Where my deeds are all broken




And I'm just taking flight.
