Where the Light Shines Through

When you're feeling like an astronaut

Stuck on a planet even time forgot, and

You're a version of yourself, but you're not the same

You try to keep the wound camouflaged, and

The stitches heal, but the years are lost, and

Another bottle on the shelf can't numb the pain

Why're you running from yourself now?

You can't run away

Cause your scars shine like dark stars

Yeah, your wounds are where the light shines through

So let's go there, to that place where

We sing these broken prayers where the light shines through--

The wound is where the light shines through

Yeah, the wound is where the light shines through

Ain't we all just Abraham's son?

Saint and sinner with the song and drum, and

We're fallen on our knees, we all bleed the same

And the only tattoos I have are scars

I got your name written on my heart

And the story that brought us here ain't the thing that changed, no

I wanna see that light shining

Brighter than the pain

Cause your scars shine like a dark star

Yeah, your wounds are where the light shines through

So let's go there, to that place where

We sing these broken prayers where the light shines through

The wound is where the light shines through

Mama, ain't the blood just proof I'm human?

Mama, ain't the wound just retribution?

Well Mama, ain't the scar like a vision of grace?

The wound is where the light shines through

The wound is where the light finds you

The wound is where the light shines through

The wound is where the light finds you

Your scars shine like dark stars

Yeah, the wound is where the light shines through

It's where the light shines through

Yeah, yeah, it's where the light shines through

Yeah, the only time to our heart, oh oh

It's where the light shines through

Where the light shines, where the light shines through

Where the light shines though

It's where the light shines through
