(Verse 1)
The lights are coming through above my cracked front door
I’m counting up the heartaches scattered on the hardwood floor
My reflection in the window looks like a stranger I don’t know
Just a man who’s lost his spirit with nowhere left to go
I’ve been traded for a dollar, I’ve been treated like a stone
Building up a life, ohhh just to sit there all alone.
(Chorus)
Then the sky began to fade, and the room began to glow
With a light I didn’t earn and a peace I didn’t know
They didn’t come with thunder, no, they whispered soft and low
That my heart wasn’t made for the darkness below
They said, “Son, you’re worth the mercy, forget the sin”
Then I saw the light start to open from within.
(Verse 2)
They showed me every kindness that I’d brushed off in the dark
Every time I helped a brother, every faint and flickering spark
They took the tiny notebook where I’d written all my shame
And they washed it in the water ‘til they couldn’t find my name
I told ‘em I was broken, that I don’t deserve to stay
But they smiled and said He doesn’t need you today.
(Chorus)
Then the sky began to fade, and the room began to glow
With a light I didn’t earn and a peace I didn’t know
They didn’t come with thunder, no, they whispered soft and low
That my heart wasn’t made for the darkness below
They said, “Son, you’re worth the mercy, forget the sin”
Then I saw the light start to open from within.
(Bridge)
It’s funny how the world can make you feel so small
Like you’re just another stranger leaning against a wall
But those wings, they wrapped around me, and they lifted up my head
And for the first time in forever, ohhh I believed the words they said.
(Guitar Solo)
(Chorus)
Then the sky began to fade, and the room began to glow
With a light I didn’t earn and a peace I didn’t know
They didn’t come with thunder, no, they whispered soft and low
That my heart wasn’t made for the darkness below
They said, “Son, you’re worth the mercy, forget the sin”
Then I saw the light start to open from within.
(Outro)
Yeah, I’m finally seeing the light
finally seeing the light!
Mmm forget the sin
Let out your light from within
Yeah, I’m finally seeing the light!
finally seeing the light!
Mmm forget the sin
Let out your light from within
