There's a t.v. screen in the corner of the room
And I'm starring at it, trying not to look at you
Oh it's the craziest kind of situation to come across
Not really much to say, but o my thoughts
You know I don't say too much
When I'm around you
But there's something you gotta know
I hope you do
There's a whole lotta light that shines on you
There's a whole lotta light that shines on you
And it shines so bright the whole wide world
Can't help but shine back, too
There's a whole lotta light that shines on you
Well the city guards are just doing their jobs
Waiting for someone who looks like they don't care enough
And then they tell 'em, "hey, we own this place and we'll tell
You what to do. this is how you connect the dots when we're
Standing in front of you."
But you've shown me not to worry with your
Deconstructed smile
You got the law of nature in you
All your virtue's on file
You're on file
There's a whole lotta light that shines on you
There's a whole lotta light that shines on you
And it shines so bright the whole wide world
Can't help but shine back, too
There's a whole lotta light that shines on you
And all the history I have is all I have with me
But you're growing me new names and faces
With all your poetry
Bees are floating in the fields
The honey's glistening
Songbirds are humming something I just got to set free
Let's set it free
There's a whole lotta light that shines on you
There's a whole lotta light that shines on you
And it shines so bright the whole wide world
Can't help but shine back, too
There's a whole lotta light that shines on you
