Step out into the Light - Matisyahu

Watch the weight of the wind blow

Watchin faces out my window

To the people on they grind

To the country out its mind

Half grins

Half spun like a dreidel

No middle to my know how

Slow down for the show now

I’d rather be alone than explain how

Wake up and walk out

Take up and take out

Shake up and shake out

My demons waitin on every corner just to pull me down

They follow me around

They’re in my blood as the leaves hit the ground and the wind from the willow

My only shield is the sound

My feelings release in these sounds

Get free in these sounds

Let it bleed in these sounds

In these verbs in these nouns

In these words build a boat

Take me through stormy seas till my feet hit the ground

Hit the ground running

Hit the town humming

Ancient melodies come back to me now, come back to me now

Ancient melodies come back to me now

Come back

Stop and ask the question

Like Nachman I loose the vision

Enter to the fog

Driving down this mountain to the ocean floor

where you’ve never gone before open up the door

to a room you’ve chosen to ignore

Swimming in a ocean of fear

You’ve been swimming in a ocean of fear

Through the unknown and the unclear

Through the unknown and the unclear

Fear of ya life

Fear of ya knife

Cut open this tightly stitched world that you made examine inside

Take up and take out

Shake up and shake out

Shake it off gotta shake up the vibe

You’ve been traveling the speed of light

You’ve been searching

You’ve been movin all of ya life

You’ve been reaching

You’ve been running out of sight

You’ve been seeking

Disappearing into the the light

Into the light you’ve been taken to

Now ya digging up the grave stone

Breaking up the glass house that you craved for

Breaking up the paved road that you made

Entering the maze

fear of the strange

Fear of the waves as they crash down

Once sung

Of a longing once felt

Like a trophy that you won and kept it on the mantle

Time to dismantle

Get a handle

Takin off your sandals

Lighting up the candles

Now ya livin in shambles

Ramble on with the bros

Ramble on with the pros

Cons can’t hack it

With my jacket

Causing a racket

Take a crack and crackle

Tackling competition with my mission

Livin with the vision

Or touch the moonlight

Wake up and walk out

Take up and take out

Shake up and shake out

Shake it off gotta shake up the vibe

You’ve been traveling the speed of light

You’ve been searching

You’ve been movin all of ya life

You’ve been reaching

You’ve been running out of sight

You’ve been seeking

Disappearing into the the light

Into the light you’ve been taken to

You’ve been traveling the speed of light

You’ve been searching

You’ve been movin all of ya life

You’ve been reaching

You’ve been running out of sight

You’ve been seeking

Disappearing into the the light

Into the light you’ve been taken to

Traveling at the speed of light

You’ve been searching

You’ve been movin

All of ya life

All of ya life, all of ya life

You’ve been traveling at the speed of light

You’ve been searching

You’ve been movin

All of ya life, all of ya life

All of ya life, all of ya life

Reaching

You’ve been running

You’ve been seeking

Disappearing

Out of sight

All of ya life

All of ya life, all of ya life

You’ve been searching

You’ve been moving all of your life

You’ve been reaching

You’ve been running all of your life

You’ve been seeking

Disappearing into the night

You’ve been reaching

You’ve been running into the night

You’ve been searching

You’ve been moving all of your life

You’ve been reaching

You’ve been running all of your life

You’ve been searching

You’ve been movin

You’ve been reaching

You’ve been running

You’ve been seeking

Disappearing

Trying to step out into the light

Into the light

Into the light

Into the light

Into the light

Into the light

Trying to make your life feel right

Step out into the light you’ve been taken to
