The Light
Jonna Lee Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Run as fast as these shoes can take you
With your eyes on the road nothing can break you
Don't let anyone slow down or blind you
'Cause further ahead there's a start for something new

Where is the heart in this storm
And the light that keeps you warm
Is it here in this town
Can you find it on your own
On the inside

What's your plan, where will time take you?
Will you let others decide what roads you will choose?
Let them fuck with your mind or leave you feel used?

Where is the heart in this storm
And the light keep you warm
Is it here in this town
Can you find it on your own
Where is a light in this storm
Can you find it on your own

Low, takes you low,
Just the thought of someone else ruling your world
Oh, it's your world, haven't you heard?




It's a choice, so what you gonna do about it
On the inside
