lyrics
Sukhumvit 71: Song 2 I can be the light
Verse 1
When I look back on my life I see my own coattails
When I look back on me I see fantastic vapor trails
And I see that I wouldn’t have done it any other way
Even when I see tears mixed in with the loveliness
Can’t believe it, it’s in front of our eyes
Is this it now, inside of my sky?
CHORUS
And I can be the light
I can be the light
Verse 2
As the sun sets on you do you see pink and orange?
Do you see flames that jump and dance with the whispering winds?
Can you see the sparks flutter right up to the milky way?
Do they make constellations so new in my mind?
Can’t believe it, it’s in front of our eyes.
Look straight in now, straight into your sky.
CHORUS
I can be the light
I can be the light
Verse 3
Can I will to see nothing but beauty before me?
Can I quiet my mind so it whispers gently?
Though we look out and see nothing but sorrow
I will enquire within and destroy my mind
Can’t believe it, is it in front of my eyes
Is this it now, inside of my sky
.
CHORUS
And I can be the light
I can be the light
