“My Light” Lyrics
[Verse 1]
When I’m out of hope, so lost and afraid
When I’m in the dark and I can’t seem to find my way
When I’m feelin’ lonely in the dead of the night
I remember the promise
[Chorus]
You will be my, my, my, my light
My light
You will be my, my, my, my light
My light
You will be my, my, my, my
My light where the sun don’t shine
Tellin’ me everything’s gonna be alright, alright, alright
You will be my light, yeah, yeah, yeah
[Verse 2]
I’ve tried on my own strength, but I just trip and fall
Put my faith in the wrong things, turns out after all
You’re the answer for every problem, You’re thе grace when I hit the bottom
Thе lamp unto my feet, oh, Lord, let it shine (Shine, oh)
[Chorus]
You will be my, my, my, my light (My, my, my light)
My light
You will be my, my, my, my light (My, my, my light)
My light
You will be my, my, my, my
My light where the sun don’t shine
Tellin’ me everything’s gonna be alright, alright, alright
You will be my light, yeah, yeah, yeah
[Post-Chorus]
You will be my light, yeah, yeah, yeah
[Bridge]
You’re the way when my feet can’t find it
You’re the truth when my head is lyin’
You’re the life when my heart is dyin’
You will be my light, yeah, yeah, yeah
You’re the way when my feet can’t find it
You’re the truth when my head is lyin’
You’re the life when my heart is dyin’
[Chorus]
You will be my, my, my, my light, oh, yeah (My, my, my light)
My light
You will be my, my, my, my light, my light (My, my, my light)
My light
You will be my, my, my, my
My light when the sun don’t shine (Oh-oh)
Tellin’ me everything’s gonna be alright, alright, alright (Gonna be, gonna be alright)
You will be my light, yeah, yeah, yeah
