Switchfoot - Where the Light Shines Through lyrics
[Switchfoot - Where the Light Shines Through lyrics]
When you're feeling like an astronaut
Stuck on a planet even time forgot, and
You're a version of yourself
But you're not the same
You try to keep the wound camouflaged, and
The stitches heal, but the years are lost
And another bottle on the shelf
Can't numb the pain
Why're you running from yourself now?
You can't run away
Cause your scars shine like dark stars
Yeah, your wounds are where
The light shines through
So let's go there, to that place where
We sing these broken prayers where
The light shines through -
The wound is where the light shines through
Yeah, the wound is where
The light shines through
Ain't we all just Abraham's son?
Saint and sinner with the song and drum, and
We're fallen on our knees
We all bleed the same
And the only tattoos I have are scars
I got your name written on my heart
And the story that brought us here
Ain't the thing that changed, no
I wanna see that light shining
Brighter than the pain
Cause your scars shine like a dark star
Yeah, your wounds are where
The light shines through
So let's go there, to that place where
We sing these broken prayers where
The light shines through -
The wound is where the light shines through
Mama, ain't the blood just proof I'm human?
Mama, ain't the wound just retribution?
Well Mama
Ain't the scar like a vision of grace?
The wound is where the light shines through
The wound is where the light finds you
The wound is where the light shines through
The wound is where the light finds you
Your scars shine like dark stars
Yeah, the wound is where
The light shines through
It's where the light shines through
Yeah, yeah
It's where the light shines through
Yeah, the only time to our heart, oh oh
It's where the light shines through
Where the light shines
Where the light shines through
Where the light shines though
It's where the light shines through
