Light
NYVES Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I believe in resurrection
I believe when others doubt
It keeps me further out
I believe it's no illusion
I believe I know the road
I see what others don't

I believe we are the problem
We believe we own the crown
It keeps us falling down
I believe it's nearly over
I believe there is a day
We burn it all away

When these shadows They consume my narrow path
I feel a sudden warmth against my back
The light burns through the cracks
The light burns through the cracks

I believe you've met your maker
I believe you've heard the voice
Cut through all the noise
I believe in our redemption
When the war inside is through
You will find its not in you

When these shadows They consume my narrow path
I feel a sudden warmth against my back
The light burns through the cracks




The light burns through the cracks
The light burns through the cracks
