Searching for something, not knowing what it is
Is there hope for my life, is there eternal bliss?
I've tried this thing and that, all to no avail
Barely making out an existence, this my living jail
You could be in a crowd, but do they really see me
You could be entertained for a moment, and then feel empty
You could be hanging out with friends, but still carry a burden
The weight of the world on your shoulders, world's getting colder
I want to see the light, man I need some hope
I'll give everything I have, willing to go for broke
Another step, and I could go over the edge
About to explode, going to where angels and demons tread
Children of the light
Children of the light
I want to see the light
Children of the light
I saw the light in them (Children of the light)
I want to walk as a child of light
But I felt led, to go to a place where I saw this community
With hands raised high, tears streaming down people's faces, the intimacy
It was like something out of this world, something that I had rarely seen
With people singing their hearts out, singing to some invisible being
Flashback in my mind, to a time about 5 years before
When I saw this friend, who got back from a retreat, explosion, C-4
There was this light coming from him
The light of Christ was coming from his face, inviting us in
Here it was again, as I was brought back to the moment
The singing, the crying out, I gotta have it, I want it
Children of the light
Children of the light
I want to see the light
Children of the light
I saw the light in them (Children of the light)
I want to walk as a child of light
Lead me, Lead me, Lead me to the light
Lead me, Lead me, Lead me to the light
Children of the light
Children of the light
I want to see the light
Children of the light
I saw the light in them
I want to walk as a child of light
Children of the light
Children of the light
Children of the light
Children of the light
