The Light Lyrics

[Verse 3]
I'm a prisoner on the run (I'm a prisoner on the run)
I am the moon that reflects the sun (I am the moon that reflects the sun)
I am unbeaten and I am unwon (I am unbeaten and I am unwon)
Oh, man, I was alone

[Verse 4]
They say that I'm new, that I'm evergreen
That I will rage against the machine
I am never something in between
But I got a light

[Pre-Chorus]
And it's burnin' still
And it's burnin' still
Yeah, it's burnin' still
And it's burnin'
I am the light
I am the light
The light, the light, the light, the light....


[Chorus]
I am the fire
And you are the rain
Washin' me out
You drown my flame
I am the fire
And you are the rain
Washin' me out
I am the fire
And you are the rain
Washin' me out
You drown my flame
I am the fire
And you are the rain
Washin' me out

[Outro]
I am the fire
I am the light
The light, the light, the light, the light, the light

How to Format Lyrics:

  • Type out all lyrics, even repeating song parts like the chorus
  • Lyrics should be broken down into individual lines
  • Use section headers above different song parts like [Verse], [Chorus], etc.
  • Use italics (<i>lyric</i>) and bold (<b>lyric</b>) to distinguish between different vocalists in the same song part
  • If you don’t understand a lyric, use [?]
