about

That same evening, I wrote and recorded 'The Light Shines On'. It might be the most mellow track on the album, and fits me very well. I have been known to parttake in drum circles at the N.O.I.S.E events here in Las Vegas, because I really enjoy the sound of hand drums. And its the drums that defined the mood of the song, they brought out my mellow voice to sing about lighting up the darkness in this world.

lyrics

The Light Shines On

where is the light?
not in the darkness
light, light, light
oh, you know this

there is more light
than darkness

open your eyes
and see it
deep inside
of your being
all the time
can you feel it
you are light
light headed
now is the time
can you see it
all the time
are you being it
you are light
and you know it
yes it is true
so lets shine it

there is more light
than darkness

now is the time
for you to shine it
open your eyes
and let the light in
now is the time
for you to shine it
open their eyes
with your lightning
now is the time
for you to shine it
shine your light
for them to see it
open their eyes
so they can see it
