Lights
James Carrington Lyrics

Follow the moment
Why don't you ease yourself back
Listen to silence
Sometimes the quiet's not sad
Even for no one
Turning the pages along
Soak up the silence
Some time's the quiet's your hope

You're still hoping for the light

To shine, shine, shine
Shine, Shine, Shine
Cause lights are for living and breathing inside
So light up your life and hold on for the ride
Lights are for living and revealing
Lights are for the side of you that's feeling

Gather the _____

Use all the strength from your breath
Hang in the lantern
Opens your heart more or less
Shadows surround you
Pockets of lights take their guard
Silence within you
Steady is the beat of your heart

Your still hoping for the light
To shine, shine, shine
Shine, Shine, Shine
Cause lights are for living and breathing inside
So light up your life and hold on for the ride
Lights are for living and revealing
Lights are for the side of you that's feeling
