The Light - Regina Spektor

The light was shining in my eyes before I closed them

And all the dreams I had the night before came back

The faces that I’d seen looked so familiar

But they’re just strangers, I haven’t met them yet

I know the morning is wiser than the evening

I know that wrong and right can sometimes look the same

So many things I know, but they don’t help me

Each day I open up my eyes and start again

The light comes shining in my eyes

The light comes shining in my eyes

The light comes shining in my eyes

The light comes shining in my eyes

So many stories I want to tell you

I wish that I could show you the many things I’ve seen

You and your daddy, you both look like poets

Your eyes are open wide while you are in a dream

I know the morning is wiser than the nighttime

I know there’s nothing wrong, I shouldn’t feel so down

So many things I know, but they don’t help me

Each day I open up my eyes to look around

The sun comes shining in my eyes

The sun comes shining in my eyes

The sun comes shining in my eyes

The sun comes shining in my eyes

Are closed now

Count the stars inside your mind

Count the breaths, count heartbeats

Count the sounds of life

The light was shining in my eyes before I closed them

And all the dreams I had the night before were gone

The faces that I’d seen looked so familiar

But I forgot them all when I saw the sun

I know the morning is wiser than the evening

I know that all of life just happens in between

So many things I know, but they don’t help me

Each day I open up my eyes and it begins

The light comes shining in my eyes

The light comes shining in my eyes

The light comes shining in my eyes

The light comes shining in my eyes

The light, the light, the light, the light

The light, the light
