Its burning in my soul
We're gonna light it up
Light it up
Like fire flies
Flying in the summer night skies
Like a flame dancing in the darkness, darkness
Ooooooh
Light it up, Light it up, Light it up, Light it up
Ooooooh
Just to let you know
We lighting up the darkness
Ooooooh
Ooooooh
Just to let you know
Oooooooh
Ooooooh
We lighting up the darkness
I feel it in my bones
Its burning in my soul
I feel it in my bones
Like a flame dancing in the darkness, darkness
We lighting up the darkness
The lyrics of Khwezi's song "Light it up" speak to a desire to bring light and energy to life. The opening phrase "I feel it in my bones, it's burning in my soul" speaks to the deep internal drive that the singer feels to express themselves and make something happen. This sense of purpose continues throughout the lyrics as it is accompanied by a chorus of voices repeating the phrase "light it up" which serves to amplify and reinforce the sense of determination and intentionality.
The chorus also uses evocative metaphors to describe the sensation of bringing light to the darkness. Comparing the light to fireflies in a summer sky captures the sense of joy and wonder that the singer is trying to create, while the comparison to a flame dancing in the darkness speaks to the power of that light to illuminate and energize the surrounding environment. By the end of the song, it is clear that the singer is confident in their ability to achieve their goals and share their light with others.
