There Is A Light
We the Kings Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

There is a light
Coming from the clouds
I want to see further
Than they'll allow

Go to bed now
They'll be here soon
To bring us all presents

If we were good

And take me where we need to go to find a little snow
Out where the fire logs will need a little spark to grow
And tell me to close me eyes to quickly fall asleep before you know shows
He'll be here soon
And take me where we need to go to find a little snow
Out where the fire logs will need a little spark to grow
And tell me to close me eyes to quickly fall asleep before you know shows
He'll be here soon

There is a light
Still coming from the clouds
I want it to be here
I want it right now

Oh cause I'm sick of the cold
And waiting for tomorrow
And I've been waiting all year, all year
Swear I was good

(oh)

Take me where we need to go to find a little snow
Out where the fire logs will need a little spark to grow
And tell me to close me eyes to quickly fall asleep before you know shows
He'll be here soon
And take me where we need to go to find a little snow
Out where the fire logs will need a little spark to grow
And tell me to close me eyes to quickly fall asleep before you know shows
He'll be here soon
He'll be here soon

And take me where we need to go to find a little snow
Out where the fire logs will need a little spark to grow
And tell me to close me eyes to quickly fall asleep before you know shows
He'll be here soon
And take me where we need to go to find a little snow
Out where the fire logs will need a little spark to grow
And tell me to close me eyes to quickly fall asleep before you know shows

He'll be here soon
He'll be here soon

There is a light
The hope for better things is visible

Coming from the clouds
This hope is out of reach

Than they'll allow
But the future is not predictable

Go to bed now
It is time to rest

They'll be here soon

To bring us all presents
Good things are coming for everyone

If we were good
These good things are earned by good behavior

And take me where we need to go to find a little snow

Swear I was good
I deserve the good things, I behaved well enough

He'll be here soon
Good things will happen soon

Lyrics:

There is a light
Coming from the clouds
I want to see further
Than they're allowed
Go to bed now
They'll be here soon
To bring us all presents
If we were good

And take me where we need to go
To find a little snow
Out where the fire logs
Will need a little spark to grow
And tell me to close my eyes
And quickly fall asleep
Before you-know shows
They'll be here soon

And take me where we need to go
To find a little snow
Out where the fire logs
Will need a little spark to grow
And tell me to close my eyes
And quickly fall asleep
Before you-know shows
They'll be here soon

There is a light
Still coming from the clouds
Wanted to be here
Want it right now
'Cause I'm sick of the cold
And waiting for tomorrow
And I've been waiting out here, out here
Swear I was good

And take me where we need to go
To find a little snow
Out where the fire logs
Will need a little spark to grow
And tell me to close my eyes
And quickly fall asleep
Before you-know shows
They'll be here soon

And take me where we need to go
To find a little snow
Out where the fire logs
Will need a little spark to grow
And tell me to close my eyes
And quickly fall asleep
Before you-know shows
They'll be here soon
They'll be here soon

And take me where we need to go
To find a little snow
Out where the fire logs
Will need a little spark to grow
And tell me to close my eyes
And quickly fall asleep
Before you-know shows
They'll be here soon

And take me where we need to go
To find a little snow
Out where the fire logs
Will need a little spark to grow
And tell me to close my eyes
And quickly fall asleep
Before you-know shows
They'll be here soon
They'll be here soon
