Everlasting Light

[Chorus] Shine so bright, maybe too bright for the average bear They don't quite understand, they just rattle and stare But that's okay, that's alright We took our chance and planned our flight We fly until the sky is our ground And we make amazing sounds Sound the alarm, we mean you no harm We come in pieces Piece them all together Eventually you see the reason But they want to know Why not just give them my heart? With a light that's so bright In a world that's so, dark [Verse 1] Paradise, darker than most, but I guess it'll have to do It's where my Master tests my aptitude, checking my attitude Then line it up with longitude and latitude To pinpoint my progress, this is my Reader's Digest I try not to digress, this feeble mind, it has it's moments Illumination's taking place, my faith is faintly glowing Showing the road to those who chose to follow willingly Not focusing on likes as if I only write with similes Covered in this black but my robes are whiter than Chiaotzu Don't focus on the flack just relax, if they ever doubt you You should refresh your memory, remember why you started And hopefully won't forget it all once you've finally departed I'm an artist but I promise you we bleed the same We need the same, love, sweeter than the one Anita sang All of us need a little change, I'll hold my basket tight It's packed with living water, bread of life, and everlasting light [Chorus] [Verse 2] Paradise, difference I'm interested in living it This place I live is illegit, I'm diligent in my vigilance No need for militant, we don't speak with ill intent Depart from villainous accomplices and chill a bit Stop taking and give a bit, we often get lost in our ways So caught up in all of the craze, walking around in a daze Days pass by in blinks of an eye, and we speak goodbyes But too weak to fly so we try but we need the light Ever so bright, everyready tonight, I might kite to heights And fight all of my fears For so many years, was living in the ebony Had to make more changes than American economics in the 70's But that's enough about me, I'm trying to reach to you I hope your soul is what I'm speaking to Give it a week or two I crafted a care package and bagged it twice It's packed with living water, bread of life and everlasting light [Chorus] [Outro] Either you try to find the light In all the darkness around you Or you let that very same darkness swallow you whole I hope that you choose the former
