[Verse 1]

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



[PreChorus 1]

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

[Chorus 1]

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



[Verse 2]

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



[PreChorus 2]

I know the morning is wiser than the night time

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



[Chorus 2]

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....



[Bridge]

My eyes are closed now

Count the stars inside your mind

Count the breaths, count heartbeats

Count the sounds of life



[Verse 3]

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



[PreChorus 3]

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



[Chorus 1]

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



[Outro]

The light, the light, the light, the light

The light, the light, the light...
