You Can't Hide the Light (feat. Melissa Manchester)

The thing about barbed wire Is that you can see right through it The thing about you is that You're transparent, too The thing about us is that We put up defenses, but Still all of this light just keeps burstin' right through You can't hide the light (Sometimes a spark, sometimes a ray Sometimes a burning ember) You can't hide the light (Sometimes it blazes Like the sun and moon and stars together) You can't hide the light (It shines twenty-four Seven, January Through December) In you (Sometimes I think that you forget Don't worry, I remember) The thing about white lies Is that you can see right through them The thing about your eyes is They show the real you The thing about us is that We've got this connection That lets all of this light just keep Burstin' right through You can't hide the light (Your light has saved me But I'm sure that you already know this) You can't hide the light (So many times, when it's been Dark, your love has shown the way) You can't hide the light (So many others start to Shine when you decide to show it) I always see it in you (It just takes turning on a Light and darkness goes away) I thought I was lost in the darkness I couldn't make anything out I remember that first healing flicker Like finding a stream in the midst of long, hot drought Now I drink in all your light (Your light has saved me But I'm sure that you already know this Drink in all your light (So many times when it's been Dark your love has shown the way) You can't hide the light (So many others Start to shine when you decide to show it) I see it in you (It just takes turning on a Light and darkness goes away) Another thing (Sometimes a spark, sometimes a ray) About barbed wire (sometimes a burning ember) (Sometimes it blazes like) Is that you can snip right (the sun and moon and) Through it (stars together) Another thing about (it shines twenty-four-seven) You is that (January through December) You cut to the chase (Sometimes I think that you Forget, don't worry) (Yeah, yeah) I remember (yeah, eo) Another thing about (Your light has saved me) Us is that, but I'm sure that you already know this) (So many times) we've learned how to and (when it's been) Let go and (dark your love has shown the way) (So many others start to shine) Now I get to bask in All this (when you decide to show it) (It just takes turning on a light) Light from your Face and darkness goes away) (Hide the light) I greet the dawn of you with Wonder and anticipation (You can't) (Hide the light) your light is Unaffected by the fog and clouds and rain (you can't) (Hide the light) unlike the moon Your light is fueled by self Illumination (Burstin' right through) You might disguise it, but it never fully goes away Sometimes I think that you forget Don't worry, I remember
