Where The Light Shines Through

When you're feeling like an astronautStuck on a planet even time forgot, andYou're a version of yourself, but you're not the sameYou try to keep the wound camouflaged, andThe stitches heal, but the years are lost, andAnother bottle on the shelf can't numb the painWhy're you running from yourself now?You can't run awayCause your scars shine like dark starsYeah, your wounds are where the light shines throughSo let's go there, to that place whereWe sing these broken prayerswhere the light shines throughThe wound is where the light shines throughYeah, the wound is where the light shines throughAin't we all just Abraham's son?Saint and sinner with the song and drum, andWe're fallen on our knees, we all bleed the sameAnd the only tattoos I have are scarsI got your name written on my heartAnd the story that brought us hereain't the thing that changed, noI wanna see that light shiningBrighter than the painCause your scars shine like a dark starYeah, your wounds are where the light shines throughSo let's go there, to that place whereWe sing these broken prayerswhere the light shines throughThe wound is where the light shines throughMama, 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 throughThe wound is where the light finds youThe wound is where the light shines throughThe wound is where the light finds youYour scars shine like dark starsYeah, the wound is where the light shines throughIt's where the light shines throughYeah, yeah, it's where the light shines throughYeah, the only time to our heart, oh ohIt's where the light shines throughWhere the light shines, where the light shines throughWhere the light shines thoughIt's where the light shines through
