Light
Jon Bryant Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I was just a wandering soul
Working through the highs and lows
I heard a spirit whisper slow
Drift into a great unknown
Will anybody see my ghost?

Ooh-ooh-ooh
I can see the light
Ooh-ooh-ooh
So let me off at the end of the night
'Cause all my friends are giving up
And I've had enough
Ooh-ooh-ooh
I can feel the weight of a thousand eyes on me

I began to hear my name
My silence in a hurricane
The dust was leaving from my veins
Like some forgotten border train
Carried to my home again

Ooh-ooh-ooh
I can see the light
Ooh-ooh-ooh
So let me off at the end of the night
'Cause all my friends are giving up
And I've had enough
Ooh-ooh-ooh
I can feel the weight of a thousand eyes on me

I wade in darkness
But I can feel you calling, I hear you calling
As I shut my wanting eyes
I said I'd love you 'til I die

I can see the light
Ooh-ooh-ooh
So let me off at the end of the night
'Cause all my friends are giving up
And I've had enough




Ooh-ooh-ooh
I can feel the weight of a thousand eyes on me

Lyrics (as I discern them)

I was just a wandering soul
Working through the highs and lows
I heard a spirit whisper slow
Drift into a great unknown
Will anybody see my ghost

Oooooh
I can see the light
Oooooh
So let me off at the end of the night
‘Cause all my friends are giving up
And I’ve had enough
Ooooohh
I can feel the weight of a thousand eyes on me

I began to hear my name
Like silence in a hurricane
The dust was leaving from my veins
Like some forgotten border train
Carried to my home again

Oooooh
I can see the light
Oooooh
So let me off at the end of the night
‘Cause all my friends are giving up
And I’ve had enough
Ooooohh
I can feel the weight of a thousand eyes on me

I wait in darkness
but I can feel you calling, hear you calling
As I shut my wanting eyes
I said I’d love you ‘til I die

I can see the light
Oooooh
So let me off at the end of the night
‘Cause all my friends are giving up
And I’ve had enough
Ooooohh
I can feel the weight of a thousand eyes on me

Seriously, why am I hearing the same 20 songs on the radio everyday when there's music like this out there...

@SilverishKitten

Get different channels :)

@tashvelez7286

EXACTLY!!! SO FRUSTRATING!!

@Alberto41078

when i feel depressed and down...this song relaxes me and boost me up i use this song as a relaxation....good song.

@jdlech

Because producers pay to get their stuff on the radio. Those who don't pay for it, don't get the play time. It takes a lot of money to get a top 10 hit.

@crhu319

"The radio", just turn it off, YouTube and a few curated channels on streaming have everything good.
